Story

Hello everyone!  I will be dancing the Summer Long Dance from 6th-10th July. It is a 72-hour conscious dance ceremony - a meditation in movement - along with fasting and very little sleep! Its our first year back since the pandemic so this year I am raising funds for Upbeat West Suffolk Heart Support – in memory of my dear old Dad who died on 25th November 2019. 

Dad was a founding member of Upbeat after his heart attack and bypass in 1995. It is a community based organisation providing specialist exercise classes for heart patients and a wonderful inclusive community of support that is indeed full of heart!  He and my mother found in it a wonderful group of people who became their close friends. Upbeat became even more important to Dad for the eight years after my mother died, with the regular classes and social events keeping him moving and connected. They won a Queens Award for Voluntary Service in 2018 and long may they continue to do what they do so well. I  - and they - will be grateful for whatever support you can give.  Thank you.
