Story

I am going to be raising money for the SAMM charity which means a lot to us as a family. The charity has been struggling since the pandemic and I feel this is a good way for the public to show some support.

"SAMM provides a wide range of peer support services to people bereaved by murder and manslaughter"

I will be raising money in memory of my Brother Gary Heavey. He was cruelly murdered at just 18 years old. The SAMM charity has helped our family over many years, especially my Mum who has seriously struggled since losing her only son. No parents should have to go through what my Mum has been through....yet she is the best Mum a child could ever ask for, even with all the sadness she has experienced 😘

I have been trying to think of what I can do to help out and I feel that setting myself a personal challenge is the way to do it! Losing weight is my BIGGEST downfall. Now to prove to myself that I can do it but also raise money for a charting - is something I would love to do!

I will be exercising every day, jogs, bike rides and gym activities.

I will be giving up chocolate and crisp and any type if junk food completely over the next 3 months! - might seem simple to you but to me....its not 😂

Please can you help me do this! Not just for my personal well being but support me in raising money for something so special! 

Thankyou in advance for your donations and I will be keeping everyone posted with my weight loss and exercise journey!
