This September I have pledged to raise $500 for The Heart Foundation in honour of my late granddad. 

I am taking on the challenge of JUMP ROPING for 15 MINUTES everyday throughout the month of September!

Why is this so important to me?

I was inspired by my mum who ran a total of 42km in the month of October last year for the same purpose - raising funds to aid further research on, and increase awareness of heart disease and the impact it has on individuals and families. 

This month I shall follow in her footsteps! Like her, I have started this fundraiser in memory of my late granddad who sadly passed away from a heart attack almost 10 years ago. No words can describe how much we love and miss him - I am doing this challenge knowing he is looking down on me and cheering me on. Not only do I want to make him proud, but mostly my mum, nan, sister and parter Dylan. 

A donation of any amount is greatly appreciated - I hope this fundraiser will be a great success! I’m excited to both challenge myself and improve my overall cardiovascular health while doing so. 

Let’s do this! 


Much love, and thanks

Ps. My fundraiser is called Blackbird because they were my granddad’s favourite bird - it is also inspired from the lyrics of The Beatle’s song, Blackbird. 

“Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly.”
