After all of my hard work at university, I’ve recently bought myself a little present. I felt I deserved it! Well, this is a guilt free kind of treat. I bought a new bracelet, however the “guilt free” part comes when you understand who I bought it from.
There’s a wonderful little girl who I originally came into contact with while I was running the 3 Yorkshire 10k races in 2011. She very kindly donated her pocket-money for each of the races to sponsor us (she also supported many other fantastic causes by donating her pocket-money).
Her new venture, is to raise money to supply her local women’s refuge with boxes full of the essentials, and some treats for the families who may have to swiftly leave their homes due to domestic violence. She raises the money by making bracelets for a donation of £3.00. I can honestly say that it’s well worth the money. It’s really wonderful to know that my beautiful bracelet is helping someone in a situation that I couldn’t possibly imagine.What’s even more amazing is that this six year old does this anonymously, she doesn’t do this for any other reason than to help others. She’s an inspiration and example to us all.
Now I wonder if any of you guys reading this could help? Please look at the Treasure Boxes website. Treat yourself or a loved one to a beautiful bracelet and in the process, you’ll be helping someone during a very difficult time in their life.
Thank you for reading xxx
