Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

When You Wish Upon A Star is a fantastic charity which makes dreams happen for sick children. Some children wish to be a fairy princess or soldier for the day, swim with dolphins or swap hospital beds for sleighs and visit Lapland.

I lost my amazing mum Carole Hartshorn in September 2018 after she courageously battled her way through so many challenges during her illness. On mum's journey we met a little boy around the age of 7 who was full of energy and spirit, unfortunately this little boy was on the same journey as mum. Mum and I found ourselves reflecting about this little boy often and how unfair life can be. Everyone deserves to smile. Now I have lost my mum the realisation has hit me of how important memories really are and how they continuously form part of daily life so ... I decided to take on a challenge of my own in mum’s memory TOUGH MUDDER (Saturday 7th September 2019).

Together with the most amazing friends -

Lucie Whiteman, Nadia Asher, Ange & Mark Collins, Gemma Hirshman, Jenna Goldthorpe, Jo Fielding, Jo Lowery, Michelle & Laura Moss, Natalie Cowap, Margalit & Marc Levene, Steph Nivan, Natalie Goldsmith, Vicky Bladon, Jonno Pollard, Natalie & Dale Silverman, Jasleen Bijral, Kav, Louise Dobson, Emmalee Fitton, Jessi Kordecki, Orit Brown and Vicky Earnshaw.

Every child deserves to smile and with your support we can help create special times, giving children and their families something to look forward to in times of uncertainly.

Wishes allow families to put their child's illness on hold as they have fun and create precious memories
