Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This November, at the annual MAV ball, I will be competing in a 'Strictly' dance competition against 3 other dancers. Over the next ten weeks I will be learning to dance with my professional dance partner, the ever so patient Scott! We will be performing our routine at the MAV Ballroom Blitz on the 11th of November in Oran Mor. This is a fundraising event to raise money for Medics Against Violence, an amazing charity striving to prevent and reduce violence. MAV runs a school programme where healthcare professionals educate young people on the consequences of violence, helping them make good choices and stay safe. MAV also offers free training to dentists and vets on recognising domestic abuse and how to raise such a sensitive issue with the individual involved. I am fundraising for this worthwhile cause by dedicating my spare time in the next ten weeks to dancing, dancing and even more dancing (sorry Scott!) followed by a nerve wracking (and potentially mortifying) 2 minutes on stage at the ball! For every £20 I can raise I will get a point towards my final score on the night...I like to think of that bit as the audience vote!! Thank you everyone for taking the time to read this and thank you to anyone who decides to donate 😁. I'll post updates on Scott's and my progress so you can all see how we are getting on!! In the meantime...keeeeeeep dancing! (Sorry-had to!)
