Story

Daniel has been keen for some time now to raise money for Bolton Hospice to thank them for taking such good care of his Nanna Jackie and the Move it March event has got him very excited! Mummy has agreed to join in the fun and our mission is to complete 30 minutes of exercise each day throughout the whole of March so watch out for lots of pics in here and on Facebook of us getting our move on! We are super proud of Daniel for committing to this event and would be extremely grateful for your donations. If £50 is raised Daniel will receive a certificate and if £120 is raised a medal so would love to hit those targets. Bolton Hospice are a charity that are mainly funded by local people and need to raise around £4 million pounds a year to continue to provide their services for free. With so many fundraising events cancelled due to the pandemic every penny counts in making a difference to both patients and their families. Thank you so much in advance for your support - it really does mean a lot. Daniel and his Mummy

Updates

We smashed it!

31st March 2021
A huge thank you for all the amazing support and incredibly generous donations - Daniel is so thrilled and proud as we are of him too! Our last few days have seen more fitness workouts which have become a real hit with Daniel and include Pokemon, Minecraft and Super Heroes. He's also done a lengthy football training session on Monday while I chose a walk in the sunshine plus we both had a trip to the park yesterday too - Daniel on his scooter and me on foot! So super proud of Daniel with this challenge as he's risen to the 30 minutes moving every day and never tried to make excuses as raising monies for the hospice really has meant so much to him. We have agreed to keep moving together as it's been so much fun and got our thinking caps on for Daniel's next fundraiser too!

Almost there already!

Honestly can't believe how fast this challenge has passed as already on 27th March! Dan has been an absolute superstar and powered on determined to raise funds for Bolton Hospice making us all so proud! We have found lots of fun fitress ways to get our move on as well smashing out the 30 minutes and in the last few days discovered some new ones including a Minecraft battle which was a hit! A trip to the park on Friday after school with Dan on his scooter and me donning my walking shoes with a visit to Ridgmont today for football fun for the boys and a lovely walk through the daffodils for me!

A sniffly boy powers on!

A boy with the sniffles since coming home from school on Monday but it hasnt held him back! We are powering on with our moving and at Dan's request had two days of the kids fitness sessions including Pokemon and Minecraft!
