Story

As you all know I lost my beautiful mum 💔 Norah Burgess on 30th July 2021. It really was the worst day of my life.

In February 2019 my mum ended up in the hospital with pneumonia/double pneumonia. She spent 4 &1/2 long weeks in hospital, obviously being nearly 60 she never fully recovered from this but she still carried on working/doing everything she could and more as nothing was going to get in her way she was very determined like that. 

On 28th July 2021 I called my mum a ambulance (3rd time we had called her a ambulance since April 2021) as she was struggling with her breathing again. This was the last time I had a conversation with my mum 💔 on 30th July 2021 my mum passed away 💔💔💔 aged 62. 

A year after my last conversation with my mum,  my sister, daughter, 2 nieces &  I are going to run 5k (or a least I am going to give it my best shot 🙈) in memory of my beautiful mum, Norah.

Please even if it’s only £1 please donate to this great charity to help fund vital research and support so that
in the future other families won't have to go through the
devastation of losing someone they love like we did
losing our mum 💔.

Thank you all for your support, it means a lot  ❤️❤️❤️
