๐ WOMEN SUPPORTING WOMEN โ AND NOW IโM ASKING OUR COMMUNITY TO HELP ๐
I wasn't planning on writing this post today.
This morning we had our usual Friday Pilates class at The Glow Up Hub. Afterwards, a few of the ladies stayed behind, had a coffee and started chatting.
And I found myself just standing there listening.
Women talking openly about cancer. Treatment. Recovery. What happens afterwards. The things you deal with physically and emotionally that other people don't always see.
But more than that, I was listening to women supporting women.
Listening to each other. Sharing experiences. Offering reassurance. Laughing together. Understanding each other.
And I genuinely felt quite emotional.
We have some incredibly strong, resilient women who walk through the doors of this Hub. Women who have been through things that many of us couldn't imagine โ yet they still turn up wanting to move their bodies, feel stronger, have a coffee, have a chat and get on with living their lives.
And the other women around them simplyโฆ listen. โค๏ธ
Then one of our members said:
โWhy don't we do a Macmillan Coffee Morning?โ
And I thought โ YES.
So I've officially signed The Glow Up Hub up. ๐โ
๐
FRIDAY 25TH SEPTEMBER
We'll be holding our Macmillan Coffee Morning at the Hub.
And because our FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY is the very next day โ Saturday 26th September โ I want to do something BIG.
๐ I WANT TO BUILD A HUGE CHARITY RAFFLE.
And I need your help.
From TODAY, I'm asking local businesses, makers, therapists, hairdressers, beauticians, restaurants, cafรฉs, shops, PTs, instructors โ absolutely ANYONE who can โ to donate a prize.
It doesn't have to be enormous.
A voucher.
A treatment.
A meal.
A product.
A hamper.
A bottle.
A class.
A service.
Anything you would be happy to give.
Every single donation will help us raise more money for Macmillan Cancer Support.
And you don't need to wait for me to come asking! ๐
๐ DM me if you'd like to donate
๐ Drop a prize into The Glow Up Hub
๐ Tag a business below who might be able to help
๐ Send this post directly to someone who owns a business
๐ And PLEASE SHARE THIS POST
Even if you can't donate anything yourself, sharing this costs absolutely nothing and could put this post in front of somebody who can.
I would LOVE to walk into our first birthday party on the 26th and see an enormous table full of prizes donated by our community, knowing that every raffle ticket sold is helping Macmillan.
This idea didn't come from me.
It came from one of our members, sitting around a table after Pilates, listening to other women and wanting to do something to help.
And I think that says everything about the community we've created here.
So let's do it.
Let's see just how BIG we can make this raffle. ๐
Please SHARE. Please TAG. Please ASK.
And if you'd like to donate a prize, message me from today. ๐
