I am undertaking two very tough challenges; to lose a stone in weight which will allow me to undertake a very scary experience of a Wing Walk, all to raise funds for Cherry Trees.

After working at Cherry Trees for over 14 years, I know first hand how much of a difference the charity makes to so many families which Is why I am taking on this challenge, to raise money to ensure that we can continue to help so many.

Cherry Trees is a small charity providing home from home specialist short breaks for children and young people aged 0-19 with a range of disabilities including learning, physical and sensory impairments.  Cherry Trees is a unique place, providing professional care in a safe, stimulating and fun environment, where every child is valued for who they are. It is a community that is dedicated to children and young people, enabling them to spend time with friends and enjoy new experiences and opportunities, while their families have a much-needed break.

We believe that every child is an individual with the right to enjoy a normal pattern of life within the community appropriate to his/her age.   Cherry Trees is dedicated to ensure this is achieved for all of the children and young people who come to us.

Cherry Trees can only offer this integral support through kind donations as we only receive around 50% of funding from local authorities.

I have kindly been sponsored by Evolve BTB to help me with my weight loss and fitness goal, without this I simply will not be allowed to undertake the Wing Walk. S&R Décor have generously paid for the Wing Walk so I am now seeking sponsorship to reach/exceed my £2000 target along with motivation to keep me going! To follow my weight loss journey please visit my blog, I promise it will make a humorous read if nothing else! http://wingwalkworkouts.tk/
