Hi all,

As you all now know, I'm taking part in 'Pendleside Does Strictly' to raise funds for Pendleside Hospice.

Yes, you may think I'll be completely in my comfort zone on the stage, but I'm actually very nervous - while excited at the same time! (I hope there's wine back stage ;) )

My partner is the wonderful Lewis Sugden who is only 15, and we are being coached by Louise at Sandersons.

I'm not sure if you saw last year's event, but it was FANTASTIC! And, better still it raised £56,000 for Pendleside - incredible.

So, the challenge is now on for the Class of 2024 to do their bit and raise the same, if not more. And I am definitely up for the challenge for such a wonderful charity.

I'll be doing a few fundraisers in the salon in the coming months, so look out for those, but in the meantime, if you can spare a few pounds to get me to my target, I would be hugely grateful.

Thanks all and keeeeeeeep dancing!

Jo x
