🎀 MY MOVEMENT HAS A NEW PURPOSE. #Move4Her
I've never been one to jump on the fitness-content bandwagon. Let's be honest, that space is already saturated!
But sometimes life gives you a reason to look at something differently. At 57, I'm an ex-smoker and an ex-sedentary woman. I've worked towards becoming more active, taking more walks and making my wellbeing a priority.
Now, my youngest sister has been diagnosed with breast cancer. And suddenly, awareness is no longer just a pink ribbon or a campaign we see every October. It has a face. A name. A place very close to my heart. I may not be able to participate in the #ImagineChallenge this month because I'm preparing for a move to be closer to my youngest son. But I can still make my movement count.
I'm registering with I Love Boobies South Africa, with the intention of helping fund a breast screening for a woman who cannot afford one.
No gift box. No certificate. No recognition needed.
Just the hope that another woman gets an opportunity to look after her health.
So, when I share my walks, my steps and my movement, you'll know why. This isn't about chasing numbers or looking a certain way. It's about using my own journey to help bring awareness to something that now touches my family personally.
For my baby sister. For the woman who needs that screening. For all the families waiting for answers.
I will #Move4Her . 🎀💜
