💙 I’m Taking on the Plank Every Day in October Challenge! 💙

This October, I’m taking on the Cancer Research UK Plank Every Day Challenge.

I’m doing this challenge for two very important reasons. Firstly, it’s a personal goal for me and a chance to finally start taking positive steps towards becoming fitter, healthier and stronger. I’m hoping that committing to something every single day will be the push I need to start making a real change.

But more importantly, throughout my life I have been alongside so many people on their journeys with this terrible disease. I’ve seen the impact cancer can have on individuals, families and everyone around them, so being able to challenge myself while raising money for Cancer Research UK means a great deal to me.

Every plank, every day, will be a reminder of why I’m doing this — and I’m determined to see it through! 💪💙

If you would like to sponsor me, I would be incredibly grateful. You can donate cash in the coffee shop, where I have sponsorship forms available, or you can donate online using my fundraising link below.

🔗 https://fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/jackies-giving-page-10014308

No amount is too small — every donation adds up and helps support vital cancer research.

Thank you so much to everyone who sponsors me, encourages me, or simply helps keep me going throughout October. Here’s to 31 days of planking, raising money for an amazing cause, and hopefully a fitter and healthier me at the end of it! 💙💪

Wish me luck! 🤞

Much love Jackie xx

As you all know we are always up for raising a little bit for charity, so I thought I could push myself to a challenge of planking and see how I get on! So if you have faith in me and would like to donate I would be very grateful xx
