When I found out about Paul and Sharon setting up the foundation I knew I had to do something to support.
I decided I wanted to raise money for the foundation and I wanted to do it in my style.
I work in the fitness industry and wanted to use my skills to help. I hosted a fitness class that had over 40 people in attendance.
It was a fun class with camp old school songs and even co-hosted by a drag queen and sponsored by a brewery to continue the fun after the sweating!
I also cycled in the RideLondon100 which is a 100 mile cycle through London and Essex. I participated in this with over 25,000 cyclist. I achieved a time of 5:08hrs.
Between the two fundraisers I have managed to raise £1000 for the Mary O’Gara foundation.
This cause is so close to my heart and I will do another event soon to raise more funds.
