GOOD LUCK - MAN V HORSE CHALLENGE 🏃‍♀️🏇🏿

We’re incredibly grateful to our trustee Jess, who today is taking on one of the toughest endurance events. The Man v Horse challenge in Llanwrtyd Wells, Wales.

That’s 24 miles of rugged mountain terrain, Jess will be on horseback on her beautiful horse Kyle whilst raising funds for Florentina’s Footsteps Foundation. If you would like to track her progress today then the link is https://live.opentracking.co.uk/manvhorse26/?fbclid=Iwb21leASZ8ZFjbGNrBJnxfGV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHjpecp39KMxIFDI_XdnpzTvigh7mL8Ux4BFShuyZfLRno-8yoQlXDUYmwNMs_aem_jDx-XHHxsemqsJ0iXB_GjQ

A huge thank you to for sponsoring tonight’s pizza evening with an incredible 17 pizzas!

It’s especially meaningful when a sponsor has experienced the service firsthand. Having received a pizza themselves during an inpatient stay and truly appreciated the gesture at the time. They have now chosen to give back and help provide that same comfort and kindness to others.

Thank you to our amazing volunteers and her sons Ben & Hunter!

A huge thank you to Paul J King Funeral Directors in Maldon for creating such a beautiful window display in support of Florentina’s Footsteps Foundation!

We couldn’t wait to go and view their beautiful display. We are so grateful for the kindness and support shown to our charity recently, especially from the families who have chosen to donate to our cause in memory of their loved ones.

Seeing Florentina’s Footsteps Foundation displayed so beautifully in the window is incredibly special and helps raise awareness within the local community. Please take a moment to look at the lovely display if you’re passing by!

Thank you for keeping Florentina’s memory shining brightly 🩷🩵🦋
