To celebrate Pendleside's 35th anniversary I am taking part in 'Pendleside Does Strictly' to raise funds for Pendleside Hospice, who are aiming to raise £20,000 in sponsorship to fund nursing care. Thank you for your support.

If you know me, you’ll know my party trick on the dance floor is the splits! Ask my friends and they would tell you that some of my dance moves leave a lot to be desired 😂 💃🏽.

My mum was originally dancing, however due to injury I’ve stepped in, and in a way I didn’t want there to be a Nancy Kerrigan & Tonya Harding incident ⛸️ (joking!) in order for me to take her place.

I love a challenge and cannot wait to raise money for a charity which is very close to my heart. Pendleside Hospice has been integral when family members have been terminally ill. It’s time for me to give back to Pendleside.

I have never fundraised before and I am grateful of this opportunity to be able to take part in such a fun event as well as give back to Pendleside Hospice.

I appreciate and welcome any support, and if you could donate, it would be greatly received!
