Story

My favourite donkey Lady, and her friends at Willows are in need of a new turnout area so they can come in and out of their barn as they please during the winter months. I'm fundraising for fencing materials and also some structural repairs to their barn. Donkeys are my favourite animal I love their mischievous personalities but also their gentle nature. 

When I'm not working at Willows I enjoy weightlifting and recently discovered the historic lifting stones of Scotland. I choose the castle Menzies stone because it's one of the hardest of all the historic stones to lift because it is 115kg (which is over 18 stones!) and also its very smooth. My aim is to lift the stone to at least chest height which is going to be a very big challenge for me. Please help me to support Willows and the wonderful donkeys, thank you.
