12th July 2018
Two of my colleagues, Sara and Neha, took on a 100k walk over 14th/15th July raising money for charity (their poor feet). I decided I would donate to a different charity closer to my heart. It’s not that I have anything against Cancer Research but I have my own personal reasons why I don’t donate to them, aside from the fact that so many people I know often do sponsored events for them and I do sponsor them a lot. Also, there are a number of smaller charities that really need the money. I, instead, donated £10 to Crohn’s and Colitis UK in their names.

July was the month of fundraising ventures in my team. Two other colleagues, Caroline and Lucy, did the RideLondon cycle ride on 29th July for NSPCC and Tommy’s. I sponsored them £10 each.

As always, making me cry multiple times in one evening, I donated £20 to Children in Need. They really do know how to tug on my heartstrings (“that’s how they get you”, my husband tells me).
1st June 2019
When I was on holiday with my Mum a year ago, she was saying how AMAZING her Skechers were. I tried them on and was super jealous. It took a year but I eventually decided that I would buy myself a pair because I wanted to start to do more walking in the summer with Matheus. I went to Watford into the Skechers store and found a pair I liked and thus decided to buy. I went to the till and the young man behind the till said that the store was raising money for Breast Cancer Care and would I round up the cost of my trainers - “that is how they get you”, I thought to myself. I agreed and rounded up by £7.
