I am aiming to do a total of 100 yoga sun salutations in 10 days, doing 10 in succession early each morning to raise money for Henshaws in their 'Henshaws Hundreds Challenge'


Out of every 100 people in the UK, how many do you think live with a disability? The answer is 22. More than one in five. Join me in helping Henshaws offer support, advice and training to enable these people and their families to build skills, develop confidence, help each other and look forward to a more positive future.

I’ve accepted this challenge to help change lives. Please make a donation to support my challenge. Thank you so much!
