2 weeks to go - thank you for the donations ♡

Thursday 17th Jul
Only a couple more weeks to go and we're looking forward to the challenge. Last night, Hugo was admitted to hospital for one night so he has also seen just how important it is so help children and their families when faced with a hospital stay. He's on his own recovery now, as is Grace, but nothing will stop them achieving this challenge ♡

A big thank you from Hugo and Grace

Our challenge

Monday 7th Jul
Hi all, we've decided to do the summer challenge, however instead of 1 mile a day, we're going to do 2 miles a day throughout all of August.
This may be through walking, running, bikes rides or even swimming. 

After a short period of time in hospital earlier this year for Grace (with a ruptured appendix and complications from surgery), we were able to see how poorly some children can be. We were lucky enough to be able to come home and carry on as normal, but others can't. 

Grace needed emergency surgery during her time in hospital, she still has some side effects from this now, so for her to complete this challenge will be a huge achievement ♡

We also want to do something little to raise money to help Young Lives vs Cancer. 

No matter how small, we would appreciate any donation. 

Thank you ♡♡♡
