cancer fundraising
I am dedicating today’s journal post to my amazing friend Nicole Cooper x It is always a joy to make friendships through my fundraising after Mum was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2012.

It’s been a busy day with thee Life of Mique teddy bears. The day started off with me being able to share a photo of the ex Scottish international footballer, Chris Iwelumo, with a teddy. His fiancée, Jade Annelise, bought a bear last week and sent me this cracking photo. All photos help to raise
There’s no doubt that on days like today you can feel that Spring is not too far away. Lovely out in the sunshine, although unfortunately for me my work unit doesn’t get much sun and is in the shade all day, where it is still absolutely freezing! On days like today where I didn’t have
