I not only lost my mum in 2019 ,  to an aggressive cancer,  which took her away very quickly and way too soon,  but also other friends who I cared about dearly. 

I want to show my admiration to those who help and aid people dying and the families of people dying , a  little ray of sunshine. . Not everyone is able to experience this , I mean a kind word, the right environment ,  a comforting hand can go along way. 

This  is why I really want to support this cause . 

I know my mum left this plane in peace and tranquility after an atrocious ordeal with her illness.  I want to do something to support this beautiful  place that makes it easier to accept death and succumb and give up to death. 

This trek is something for me to bite my teeth into. 

In memory of mum..................

Greatly and devastatingly missed beyond imagination.  Just unfathomable to imagine not seeing that person who was so special , someone so important in your life ............... 

Mum I do this for you , with you in my heart and my soul X     

I will not only raise funds for the hospice mum died in , Willow Wood, but for a children's hospice close to my heart , in memory of Reuben,  a gorgeous (almost ) 2 year old who was taken away to heaven, who's family used this tragedy to build and give bitt to a children's hospice , Reubens Retreat , a special place for children and their families going through the same thing as they did. 

This trek is in memory of all the people who were taken away too soon.  

The lovely, Marion Styan,  embedded in my memory forever .....                       (whose daughter Michelle ,  I'll be trekking with ;)). 

This is also in memory of Anne Loeser , a beautiful friend we lost too young and through circumstances that were able to be avoided.  Anne X

Richard Varon,  who will always have a place in my heart.  Someone to fall in love with. Miss you X . 

This is also for Master Lars, forever dedicated to the well being of others, hard as nails on the outside ( he really wanted you to hit him as hard as you could in our training sessions)  and then so soft and so balanced on the inside.   We will always remember you.   

Mum you are loved dearly ,  and you have left huge footprints behind , I'm gonna place a few footsteps in the middle of the desert for you........... 

Hope you will join me on my quest to raise money and feel thrived and inspired to do more for others...........please help me reach my goal by donating a small amount . Thank you . 

Challenge accepted :  New dates .......19-24 March 2021,
