Story

My name is Nova, I’m 85 years old. I enjoy hula hooping as part of my keep fit routine and want to put this to good use raising money for Children in Need.

I’m a full-time carer for my husband, who sadly suffers with Alzheimer’s which makes it difficult for me to get out and be active so I started doing some activities in my kitchen where I also play solo table tennis

On 14th August 25 I started my challenge to hula hoop 100 times a day and I will be doing this for 100 days, finishing in Children in Need day, 14th November.

I’d love some sponsorship for this great charity.

If you want to hear me talk about my hula hooping, it’s about 3 hours 35 mins into this radio show:
