We're on the hunt for some fabulous raffle prizes to help us raise as much money as possible for the incredible charity 4Louis. ❤️

🥶💜 RIGHT… WHO’S MAD ENOUGH TO JOIN ME?! 💜🥶

Event 9 of Poppy Turns 10 is looking like it’s going to be a BOXING DAY DIP! 🌊😂

4Louis have secured spaces at the Boxing Day Dip at Seaburn Beach, Sunderland, and I need to give them an idea of numbers ASAP.

So before I commit us to anything…

WHO WANTS TO JOIN TEAM POPPY AND GET IN THE NORTH SEA WITH ME ON BOXING DAY?! 🥶🌊

We’ll be doing it together, raising money for 4Louis in Poppy’s name as part of our Poppy Turns 10 challenge. 💜

At the minute I’m just trying to get numbers, so if you’re genuinely up for taking part, comment below or message me ASAP.

And yes… I am already questioning my life choices. 😂🥶

🌺 8 OUT OF 10 DONE! 🌺
Another Poppy Turns 10 event ticked off
Last night was our Quiz Night at the The Queens Head, Finghall , and we raised an amazing £400 for 4Louis!
It was such a good night lots of laughs, questionable general knowledge and, after a very last-minute food panic, some bloody lovely pizza! 🍕

A HUGE thank you to the The Queens Head for having us and helping pull everything together, and to Bonnie & Clyde’s for stepping in at the eleventh hour and saving the day! 🙌 hugely recommend not only for saving us but there pizzas were 🤌 and such lovely people aswell!

And thank you, as always, to everyone who came, booked a table and supported us. ❤️
8 events down. 2 to go.
And somewhere along the way, something pretty incredible has happened…
🌺 WE'VE PASSED £10,000 RAISED FOR 4LOUIS. 🌺
£10,000 was the big scary target I set when I decided to do all of this for Poppy's 10th year. At the time I genuinely didn't know if we'd get anywhere near it.
And we've bloody done it with two events still to go.

We've run, danced, drank coffee, picnicked, played, sent tractors around Wensleydale, quizzed… and somehow convinced a whole load of you to come along for the ride.

All because Poppy should be turning 10 this year.

I can't give her the 10th birthday she should have had, but seeing her name do this much good and knowing it will help other families through 4Louis means more than I can say.🥹🥹

Next up… Boxing Day Dip 🥶😂
And then we're finishing this whole mad year with one hell of a Charity Ball. 🌺🥂
8/10 ❤️ £10K+ ❤️ And we're not done yet.

Love you Poppy!🥰 this is all for you darling!

It genuinely means the world to see people turning up and making memories together, all while helping us raise money for 4Louis in Poppy's name. 🌸
And a massive thank you to the brilliant businesses who came along and helped make the day what it was The Suckling Pig for keeping everyone fed with there yummy hot pulled pork sandwiches 🐷 and our lovely ice-cream lady 🍦 for bringing the all-important Mr Whippy North! We really appreciate you both giving up your Saturday and being part of Poppy's day. ❤️
