Story

In honour of my amazing friend Andrea to raise money for rare cancers.

Soon after being introduced as new colleagues me and Andrea became inseparable work friends - she was the most fun, happy, strong and positive person you could hope to have in your life.

We remained friends after we both left our jobs during which time she got her diagnosis of a very rare cancer. Being the caring and ambitious person she was, she set a goal to raise as much money as she could last year, so others don’t have to go through what she did.

I’m raising as much as I can for Andrea and in the hope others won’t suffer the same loss as her family and friends have.

I am a brand new roller skater, so this could be an interesting adventure!!

Jo, me, Andrea
