This October, I'm taking part in The 137 Challenge with ActionAid and completing 137 daily step-ups for one month 💪

Why? One in three women will experience some form of violence in their lifetime, and 137 women are killed per day by a partner, family member or friend?

Iam wanting to do this as it's something I've experienced from a personal level and the impact this has on you as a person is soul breaking. I also want to do this to support my patients who have experienced this and for women to take back control.

Picking up the broken pieces day by day to try and heal is something every woman should be proud of.

We cannot change how other people behave and act but we can control ourselves.

Heres to strength, here's to courage and sheer determination to carry on and not let it define us.

We are loveable, we are brave , we are strong and together we will stand tall and not let out circumstances rule out future!

Be the author of your own story. Happiness is out there ready to be found.
