                                            There are times in life when you witness someone you care about facing something so immense, so unfair, that words just seem to fall short. You desperately wish you could wave a magic wand and make it all better for them. You want to fight their battles, but you know deep down this journey, however challenging, is theirs.
What you can do, in those moments, is look within yourself and see how you can offer support.
For those who know me, you know how much my large, blended family means to me. Each person, in their unique way, enriches my life immeasurably, teaching me something new about myself every single day.
Recently, our family has received some incredibly difficult news. My stepson, Mike, has been diagnosed with cancer. It's a shockwave through all our lives, and our hearts are with him as he navigates this.
In that spirit of support, of showing up when it truly matters, something incredible is happening. Mike's friends and our family are rallying around him, stepping way outside our comfort zones to show our love and commitment. And I'm joining them in taking on a this challenge: We will be (attempting to run/walk)running the South West 50k on August 2nd. (thanks sean for organising)
This isn't my fight, but it's a way we can stand alongside Mike, offering tangible support as he faces this. If you feel moved to contribute, even a small donation to help Mike receive all the care and support he needs right now would mean the world to me and to our family.
A huge thank you to Sean and Darren for their incredible initiative in organising this, and to the rest of the family who are bravely taking on this challenge to support Mike.

 Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your kindness and compassion.
Lots of love and salty waves🧡🌊
