My Story

I'm gearing up to lace up my sneakers and step into the spotlight for a cause that’s close to my heart: raising funds for the amazing Forest Holme Hospice. This incredible place provided unwavering support and care to our beloved Clare in her final days. The dedication and compassion they showed us during that difficult time were nothing short of extraordinary.

Forest Holme Hospice is a beacon of hope for families facing some of life's toughest moments. They provide essential care and support to those in their final days, and they deserve our help to continue their invaluable work.

Now, here's where it gets interesting (and possibly hilarious). I'm not exactly a seasoned dancer—in fact I have to confess, I've never even watched Strictly Come Dancing! Picture a blend of a startled octopus and a malfunctioning robot, and you’ve got a pretty good idea of what my dancing looks like. But that’s exactly why I need your support.

I’m stepping way out of my comfort zone and onto the dance floor to raise money for this vital cause. Your donations will not only encourage me to master my awkward dance moves, but they will also provide crucial funding for Forest Holme Hospice’s life-changing services.

So, please consider donating. Your generosity will motivate me to practice my pirouettes and, more importantly, support the hospice in its mission to care for those in need.

From the bottom of my heart (and the soles of my two left feet), thank you for your support!
