Setting up a trust in our son’s name , finally , was a deeply profound moment for us and we look forward to nurturing Theo’s Hope this year. Challenges have been thrown at me in abundance , I have faced them all ,head on – with Chris and the girls by my side.. I’ve emerged Stronger, better, more strident and even more determined to make 2019 the most purposeful and FUN yet! 2018 brought the passing of the most influential woman in my life – I’m devastated I won’t hold her again or that my Nan will not be at the end of any very shouty!!!
