Story

My father passed away 5 years ago after suffering from lung cancer. As a family we cared for him at home night and day until he sadly left us. It was the hardest and most heart breaking thing I have ever done in my life, and I would do it again in a heart beat because of the love I felt for him. The team at Katherine house do this for people who aren't their loved ones but still do it with as much compassion and care and are a huge support for the families when they need it most. This is what inspired me to push myself to rise to the challenge of learning something completely new and help a worth while charity.

There have been many moments over these last few weeks of dance lessons that I questioned...why am I doing this to myself?!! It has been very hard work and I have ached all over, and cant begin to tell you how nervous I am, but I will give it my best shot.

 I hope that you can help show your support for the dancers and dig deep into your pockets to donate  to such a great cause.
