Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As many of you know I had a very battling time in 2019, after being diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer, it really made me appreciate the great work different charities do to support people going through sometimes the toughest times in their lives.

I wanted to try and make a difference in supporting one of the many great charities which are current today, who support different people in various of ways from health, physically and emotionally and extend their support to their families too.

I chose the Royal British Legion because they do this everyday, they support the Royal Navy, British Army, Royal Air Force along with the veterans and their families.

The Arctic Challenge 2023 seemed a great opportunity for me to raise money for a great cause, to push me to my own limits physically and make some very memorable memories along the way.

Please help me raise money for RBL by donating to my page, I have to raise £2500.00 by December 2022 to enable me to complete this 8 day Arctic Survival Challenge, making and sleeping in a snow hole, ice fishing, fire & shelter building to name a few, not to mention survive the -20 plus degree snow and ice along the way.
