So I am now a proud Advocate for the Amazing Charity Live Life Give Life, this charity focuses on promoting organ donation and transplant awareness, giving people more personal insights into everything, and encouraging people young and old to get talking about it and thinking about it and most importantly hoping they sign up for it!
I Feel very passionate about organ donation for many obvious reason but not just because of myself, but I have first handidly seen how amazing it is but also how destroying it can be when someone simply can't stay alive long enough to get their chance of being helped and saved by one due to the shortness of organs from people not signing up or the families not knowing what their loved ones wishes are!
It is so important to not only sign up if you agree but you must have the talk with your loved ones, as if that time comes, they ultimately have the final say no matter what you have decided!
Anyways so recently we have launched our new campaign called the #Orgamites and I LOVE IT! All about the organs we can donate and educating people about what each organ does, how it can help, how long people roughly wait for that certain organ! It's great and very friendly approach to a sometimes differcult subject, massive taboo taking about "dealth" and let's face it, it's one of the most certain things we know in life which will happen one day! But instead of being scared about it we all need to get taking about it!!
Anyways I live in a little bubble where taking about dealth is like second nature to me! I was so lucky to have this second chance but I know I won't be here for a long time! Just know this will be the best time! And pre transplant my last years have been spent knowing I was dying and arranging my funeral plans (which I have to say would have been a wicked funeral!) so for me I am so chilled maybe too chilled as my hubby says about talking openly about it all.
So if you want to have a little nose if I have got you wondering check out our charity website which is www.livelifegivelife.org.uk not sure if this will do a link to the page but copy and page it into Google or something.

Right so some exciting news! We done it!! #TeamSprog completed the Great Strides 65 41.5 miles challenge! We prob did more miles as we got so bloody lost!
I underestimated how differcult "walking" was ESP around surrey! So I managed to do about 8 and a bit miles! I done the highest hill section which ended at Devils punch bowl, 5.5 miles of up hill and thick sand on a warm and muggy day! I have never sweated doing exercise so I defo worked my bum off! Also to my luck when we arrived at registration at 5am my body decided it wanted to have a hypo! Perfect timing of course!!
The whilst doing my section of the walk with my lovely friends holly and rat!
My body decided to have another hypo in the middle of bloody know where haha energy tablets came in handy thank god!!
So we started our walk at 6am and all came in together around 11pm
Pitch black! It was hard and I hardly done anything compared to my amazing team! My family and amazing friends who made me so proud to have them do that for the charity and for me!

My incredible girl Veronica who had a double lung transplant in Feb 2015 and despite having a few health issues at the moment with her lungs she didn't let myself and importantly herself doen and completed over 6 miles (up hill)!!
