For my lovely mum Natasha

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my fundraising page.

For those who don't already know my story, I lost my wonderful mum to ovarian cancer in April 2024 after an incredibly brave year-long fight.

My mum was truly amazing, both inside and out. She was one of the most hardworking, kind and selfless people you could ever meet. As a headteacher, her school was her second home. She dedicated her life to giving every child at Park Primary School the care, encouragement and opportunities they deserved. She treated every child as if they were her own and made a lasting difference to so many young lives.

Outside of work, she was a loyal friend, loved outdoor swimming, and never missed the chance to get involved in the local village panto. She brought warmth, laughter and kindness wherever she went. She is deeply missed by everyone who knew her.

She wasn't just my mum, she was my Superwoman. Somehow, she managed to lead a school, work tirelessly and still gave me and Seb everything she had. The love, strength and dedication she showed every single day continues to inspire me. If, one day, I am even half the parent she was, I will consider myself incredibly lucky.

Losing her has left a space in my  life that can never be filled. I miss her every single day. Taking on this challenge is mine and Seb’s way of honouring her memory and living by the words she always reminded us of: ‘Carpe Diem’, seize the day.

I hope that, one day, fewer families will have to experience the heartbreak that ours has.

Any donation, no matter how big or small, would mean the world to us. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support. Together, we can help make a difference.

Love,

Ethy
