We’ve lost track of what day Laura is on, but I think it might be 32… 😵‍💫

The chart is of her daily times. Along the bottom is the day, and along the left side is the time in hours. When was the last time you exercised for SIXTEEN hours THIRTY TWO days in a row?! What a MACHINE 🥇

The fundraiser is at £3,960 which is incredible! Thanks to everyone who’s given so far. Be sure to donate before she finishes next week!!
