Story

Upping the original target of £260 again and again because of all your INCREDIBLE support! P.S. baba's reading all your amazing message thank you thank you!  

Taking this lockdown as an opportunity to raise some money for a cause so extremely close to my ❤️ 

This one is for my baba; he's fighting, he's wonderful and he's the strongest human I've ever known. But maybe, just maybe, if we raise more funds for research, one day a family will be given a little more precious time with their loved one. 

Trying to jazz things up a little by doing 26 challenges over 26 days - follow the progress in the updates section below or on Insta/Twitter (@memememema) or Facebook... ya know me, the sillier the better!
