About me (Squirrel)

I’m Rach, I work at Blonde (.net), I live in Edinburgh and I’m raising money for Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

The charity is a client, but I also have a number of good friends who have lost (and one unfortunately losing) their mums to breast cancer. All of these friends are very much fighting spirits, so this challenge is as much to celebrate their lives now, as it is to celebrate the lives of loved ones lost.

And the challenge is also for me, because I want to do it, because I want the challenge and since we’re not dead yet, we shouldn’t take what we have for granted. Here’s to getting older, having fun and taking on new experiences.

With love … humour and some blood, sweat and tears. :)

    Good on you Rachel.

    My mum has had tumors and survived – luckily without the need for lenthly treatment. The trick is getting to it on time.

    Let me know how it goes!
