This year marks exactly ten years since we lost Mum. To honour her memory and celebrate what would have been her 70th birthday, we decided to come together as a family and do something special.

"Geraldine's 70 for 70" is our 30-day physical challenge to raise vital funds for Cancer Research UK. We are running this challenge across a deeply poignant window for us: starting on the 22nd of October, the anniversary of her passing, and finishing on the 20th of November, her birthday.

Every day for those 30 days, all generations of the family are taking on 70-themed daily goals—from push-ups, sit-ups, and star jumps, to a collective 70 miles of running. It is our way of channelling our love and remembrance into a tough physical challenge that will genuinely help others facing cancer.

Any donation, big or small, will help push us through the reps and the miles.

Happy 70th birthday, Mum, Nanny Geraldine.
