Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

For my 40th Birthday I wanted a Masquerade Ball, and to raise money for a Charity close to our hearts. 

I lost my mum a long time ago to Breast Cancer, and I wanted to do something extra special! To honour my mum, surprise my guests ... and raise as much money as possible !  So I set about planning a dance routine to ‘This Is Me’ from the Greatest Showman. With the help of my amazing & brave friends, a superstar daughter, and the best dance teacher in the world .. we did it !!!!

It’s been 8 months of hard work and rehearsals!  But we were united in wanting to challenge ourselves to do something amazing, for an amazing charity, Pink Ribbon. 

Thank you to my Greatest Showgirls, Charlotte Brennan, Ciara Price, Lorraine Evans, Ann Fox, Lianne Portman and Nicola Sadler. 

These ladies are not professional dancers ... we’re friends and family, wanting to make a difference to the lives of women with Breast Cancer.   On the night we raised over £1,700! I’m setting up this Just Giving page for the people that couldn’t make the Ball, but would still like to donate.  Thank you xx 

And of course, thank you for the 2 Mary’s in my life, my Mum, and my wonderful daughter. 💕💕
