My trainer Daisy PT Yoga E-RYT

Yesterday, my daughter turned 17. I didn’t post on social media yesterday. So posting today instead as yesterday I wanted to spend the day celebrating her, but I have to share how proud I am of the woman she is becoming. 📚✨Words aren’t enough to describe her but she is 🥰 brave, bright, and bold. She makes me so hopeful for the future of our world. I’m so lucky to be your mum - Happy birthday, my girl! 💖

I did it. 10,000 metres. Actually 10,249!! Done.
In May, I swam 10K for Cancer Research UK — 400 lengths of a 25-metre pool — and I have the chlorine-damaged hair and the completely irrational pride to prove it.
It started at King Alfred’s in Brighton. I signed up, pulled on a lurid tangerine swim cap, waddled to the slow lane, and told myself: just do 20 lengths. I did 42 on my first proper session. From there, something shifted.
I’m not a professional athlete. I have arthritis-level joint pain, zero oestrogen (thank you, menopause), and a brain that will happily talk me out of anything. But there’s something about being underwater — the muffled quiet, gliding over the tiles — that made every session feel worth showing up for.
400 lengths later, here we are.
Cancer research saves lives. It’s that simple. Every pound you donate goes directly to the scientists making that happen.
If this made you smile even slightly — please donate. Even a fiver makes a difference. Thank you. 💙 https://fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/daisys-giving-page-2709?feed=465ce48e-1125-4ee6-bbd5-588a3c8275d1
