I want to raise £13.1k for the 13.1 miles I will be trying to run on Sunday 🙏🏻❤️ We’re around £1000 away from the target! If you can sacrifice a coffee or a takeaway this weekend, and donate to this incredible charity, you will be making such a difference to people experiencing the worst time of their lives - just like we were a few months ago. The link to donate is in my linktree - if you Google the travel mum linktree you’ll find it (it’s also in my bio here ❤️)
Thank you so much for everyone’s support so far. I want everyone to know what wonderful and essential places hospices are, and that good end of life care should not be left to charities and communities to fund.
We experienced the palliative care unit which is NHS funded and our time there was horrendous (I’m sure they do great things for lots of people, but that wasn’t our experience). Walking into St Luke’s was like a huge weight was lifted from us. The difference in care was day and night. We could suddenly be family and stop having to be carers and advocates for my mum getting what she needed. I went into the hospice angry, with my back up, still on high alert and fighting for my mum to get the right care. Because that had been the case for the previous months. I quickly realised we were safe there. I will be eternally grateful. I hope everyone reading this gets to experience such love and peace at the end of their lives ❤️

When I tell you this has boiled my p*ss 🤬
I don’t even need to wonder whether the person who sent me that text was a man or a woman. If a man had to bleed from his willy every month, and deal with fluctuating energy, moods and discomfort - can you imagine what advancements we would have had. Imagine if any of the men running that half marathon had to do it while blood pours from their bits… of course they’d be given the pill which delays it.
It’s just 🤯
