TOMORROW Twin Peaks Challenge 🗻🙌💪
Here’s hoping we don’t get rained on too badly.. I’ve said it a million times, thank you doesn’t seem right anymore for all of the donations and support.

Instead of blabbing here’s a few of my favourite hiking piks, recent training and lastly, myself trying to blend into the hospital walls in February so I could escape yet another wee unwanted hotel stay 😅💁‍♀️💙

Go Team Hiker Hounds!!! Myself, Hannah, Colm and Kev 💃🙌💪

May ~ lots of wild dips, walks, bug bites, good doggos and big gurl (skindog) turned 3!?! 💜💜💜
Not the easiest month, two solid years on chemo with more ahead of me 🫠💃 but looking back on the highlights is very important when you have the memory of a drunken goldfish 🐟

Only about another two weeks to go and we are at almost double the fundraising goal for the Cancer Focus Northern Ireland Twin Peaks Challenge!! 🙌🎉🗻

Thank you everyone so very much in what has been a hard year for myself and 💙
I couldn’t ask for a better (funny/ brutally honest) swim and hiking buddy 💜🐾💜
Also thank you to everyone who read the lovely Cancer Focus article recently, a quick note incase you seen it on Belfast Live or the odd local paper, the Seven Summits I took part in was 2019, not last year, when I was probs in hospital yet again 🫠💁‍♀️😅 just incase anyone thought I was skipping over seven mountains a year ago, I bloody wish 🤣
