Story

Hi everyone!

My #10kForNurses challenge says thanks to the nurses and HCAs at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital for looking after my mum who is battling cancer. My mum's a marvel and I love her very much.


What are you up to?

I’m no runner so I’ll lift 10,000kg, ten times throughout October at the gym. I’ve never even managed 10,000 kg even once so it will be
a huge challenge!


All in the best possible taste!

Also, I am 'auctioning' each of the ten attempts at lifting 10,000kg.

The first ten people to donate £25 or more can choose some ridiculous headgear for me to wear as I complete my challenge. I promise I will share pictures. Just leave the headgear description in the comment along with your donation.

So, as well as a lot of blood, sweat and definately tears, i'm throwing my dignity into the mix.


Please give generously!

This is a big challenge for me. I'm going to find it very hard to reach 10,000kg (never achieved once) and to then do it another nine times will be immensely tough. Your donations and kind words will motivate me as I train for and then complete the challenge
