Story

7 was Dotty’s lucky number.

7 years ago on the 7/10/2018, Mum sadly past away from an aggressive form of brain cancer.

She fought a brave battle and never stopped smiling throughout it all - there were a few tears in there as well. We all miss her dearly!

During that time, with the help and kindness of her friends and family, she helped to raise money for the Mark Hughes foundation in Australia. It is a charity which raises much needed funds for brain cancer research.

Today, I’m running the Royal Parks Half Marathon in London in memory of Mum (Dotty) and trying to raise some money for the Mark Hughes Foundation in Australia.

I’ve decided to keep the ‘Just Giving’ open for just 7 days, in the hope that I’ll raise $700 or even a tad more…£700.😊

Thank you for whatever amount you can give - it is very much appreciated.

Do it for Dotty! ❤️🌈
