Story

My mum is my hero, I grew up watching her to care for me, fed me, loved me. The hardest experience was that when the doctor explained she had thyroid cancer and she asked what a cancer is, my heart broke when I knew I couldn’t help her and there’s limited access for care and support in this particular area. I’ve thanked the medical staff and volunteers who helped her to recover to where she is now. 

One day I’ll probably develop a thyroid related disease/condition, to reduce the probability of the risks I’ll invest my time in giving up one of my daily habits. Let’s give up coffee/tea and all of the caffeinated drinks to 0% intake for a month. Cutting caffeine will lead to experiencing  of what my mother had experienced when she removed her thyroid. 

A pound or a penny a day counts to me and I’ll appreciate of what your kindness has given to me. My potential struggle for caffeine will be worth every penny you donate. 

If you’d like to join with me in this experience then please contact me and find me on Facebook page “form Pilates Mansfield” where I’ll post my updates there.
