Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I cannot imagine how difficult and unsafe it must be as a victim/victims of domestic abuse at this time where we are having to stay in and stay "safe". It is difficult enough without the current constraints during Covid19 and many will be suffering without being able to tell anyone.

 I know what it is like to have to flee domestic abuse; the first time I got away from my x-husband and went to get help with an authoritative organisation; I was told to go back and "try" by someone who "thought"; knew him, they said "he could never do that."  I went back. Eventually I got the strength to get away with my children. We were supported in a refuge, a very simplified story but this is not about us, we are here  today, survivors; evidence you can and will survive; and I am now a nanny :) 

Women's Aid supported us, those, not so many years ago, my eldest will be 30 this year. I hope to give a bit back and have done over the years but I thought I'd do a bit of fund raising to help a bit more. I know there is a lot of fundraising going on at the moment but just a little will help. if I don't hit my target, via sponsors, I will personally make sure that my target donation is met. 

My plan is to do a medley of activities, at home, with a kind of marathon theme, everything I do will incorporate the 26 or divisions of. I'm calling it the 2/6 so I can get away with short stints! Not being very fit, having a hypermobility disorder, arthritis and edging towards that 60 mark;  I have given myself 6 Activities to do either in numbers or minutes. 

On the 13th May (1/2 marathon!):-  weigh and bake 26 cup cakes,( 2 x bakers dozen!)  13 minutes of sewing, 2 scrubs bags for the NHS (may alter this when I've timed myself); 2 x door handstands; holding for 3 minutes each; 2 x high planks for 3 minutes each; make buttercream and pipe the cakes 13 minutes? and then deliver 6 cup cakes to four families stuck indoors with their children. Phew urr well I have set myself a challenge alright, and only have a short time to practice!! 

Hopefully some video footage and pics I don't mind if you laugh at my shortcomings or anything else; lets just help Women's Aid and some people who will welcome the support. 

Thank you :) from  Kath

update 2nd May 2020: I am changing the door handstands, due to my condition the pressure on my back and wrists may cause damage; therefore I am going to do 6 handstands for I minute with intervals so I will still do 6 minutes worth!!!

Hi all I finished my challenge and want to thank everyone for their donations and support. Posted some pics of the event but here are some you tube links to some of the videos of it you'll have to type them in or just go to you tube Kath Pearce evidence I did it!!!!!
