The reason I'm creating this blog is for more than one reason alone. It's been five and a half years since my world was shattered...and I still wake up and realise I have no mum. It's not a feeling I think I'm ever going to "get used to" however, I've experienced something else altogether. Although the struggle and the pain never heals, it never goes away, I've learned to live with it. I've adapted to the hole my mum's death left, and I've learned to live around it. I'm never, ever going to get rid of that hole. It's never going to heal. That's what I struggle to tell people. That even now, I'm still not over it...and I don't think I ever will be.
Last year, I shaved my head in hope to raise a substantial amount of money for Leukaemia research. I completed my event, and after shaving my head, I realised I wanted to carry on raising money. I've decided and booked another charity event for November this year. With help from Will's parent's, my dream of travelling is starting to become a reality, as my chosen event is a 100km trek across the Sahara desert.
Once again, words fail to describe how eternally grateful I will be to them.
P.S; Any sponsors/donations are extremely appreciated. Thank you so, so much.
