Those who know me well know that I devote all that I am to my boys, both who face their own daily difficulties and challenges. By being accepted to take part in the Tough Mum challenge means I can involve them and hopefully show them challenges can be overcome. Prior to becoming a Mum I had all the time in the world to keep physically fit but being a single Mum to two boys who have special needs, whilst continuing my career in a full time job has meant I haven't had that time. I've worked hard to get my fitness back so that I can prove to the boys I can do it, and believe me I need to get fit to do this! Aiden has assumed the role of personal trainer and swim buddy and Jake is my gym buddy. Jake has Downs Syndrome and has severe learning difficulties but he makes me feel humble and immensely proud every single day with his humour, his determination, his achievements and just by being who he is. Along with Aiden, he sits at the centre of my world. Last year I secured Jake a place at Linkage College in Grimsby. Since he began, his progress is phenomenal. They are giving Jake the tools and the confidence he needs to move on to adulthood and I want to give something back to show them how much I appreciate the devotion and kindness they show him. Any money I raise will help Linkage to buy much needed I.T. Equipment for the students to use as part of their education. Any donation you can make will go directly towards it and I thank you in advance for your support.
