Below, you will read about bigmoose….. but let me tell you about me?

Since my big birthday fundraiser in 2016 when I bungee jumped at the O2 in London, I’ve been trying to find an appropriate follow on!

I’m a great believer in synchronicity - and when I read my old friend Jeff Smith’s blog (https://www.bigmoosecharity.co/blog ) I thought “WING WALKING? …… PERFECT!”

As I told Jeff, I’m not that great at signing up for something that’s going to take hours of training, but I am happy to be a bit of a daredevil! And the date of bigmoose’s Wing Walking event happens to be on my actual birthday!!! So - next April - the 3rd, on the actual day that I will turn 68 years old, I shall be Wing Walking for bigmoose…… and to celebrate the fact that over the previous 6 years I’ve had amazing treatment for endometrial cancer (thank you to the Royal Marsden hospital for that). During my treatment (secondaries diagnosed two years after the primaries), I hung on to the fact that I wanted to get to 70! And I wanted to do as much as I could! Well…… two years before the big seven oh…… climbing on to a bi plane and staying upright when it takes off and flies above the earth seems mighty appropriate!

so - read below all about bigmoose (please) and do please sponsor me (as little or as much as you can realistically manage).

Jeff’s mantra for bigmoose is to ….. leave the world a better place….. I want to do that too, and if my small action helps to change the lives of many, then that will be great.

especially in memory of the one and only Big Moose - Gary Cloonan. A very dear friend - just thinking about him always makes me smile.

“we are bigmoose. we are a mental health charity providing therapy and early intervention to people who are struggling with their mental health.

we have grown from a small facebook page of our friends and family to a community of thousands of people all over the world. together we have achieved some amazing things, most recently completing project 1 million, raising 1 million pounds in 486 days! over 11,000 people donated and have helped us to save and change lives.

we are hearing on a daily basis how much our therapy is helping to change lives. the number of referrals we are receiving is increasing every day.

but there is more work to be done.

we have a big dream to make a difference in the world. we are on a mission to raise 15 million pounds for mental health, this is going to be a mammoth task, and we are going to need all the help we can get, but our passion to change lives is what drives us, and makes us believe we can do this. “
