Story

My mother always said I had a special talent for dancing. I started stage from the age of 5 and developed excellent musical rhythm through different genres. I loved and enjoyed dancing so much, its my way of expressing my happy heart with a big smile and bags of energy.

When i was in secondary school it all got too much and i made a decision to stopped stage school and focus on my education and future.

I have been working in primary and secondary schools through Chartwells for nearly 16 years, engaging and educating pupils of all ages through good, nutritious, healthy, well balanced school meals.I am really happy in my job, My catchphrase to the children is "healthy bodies healthy minds!"

MY CHALLENGE
I am so excited to dust off my dancing shoes to take part in raising funds to Dame Kelly Holmes Trust Block Challenge. I will be disco dancing to my favorite 70s music for 14 hours over 7 days which is a total of 840 minutes. As an extra special thank you for your generosity, I will dance the final 2 hours in full 70s costume!

I will be starting my dance challenge Wednesday 7th December for 2hours everyday until the 14th December. The starting block challenge will come to an end on the 20th December where fingers crossed I will have reached my goal. Please donate whatever you can!
