Today, I felt quite humbled by myself!! Not that I normal have self-doubt… I just struggle to big up my efforts!

And… today I feel like shouting out from the roof tops for my best friend Katja Gottschalk. She is amazing…

Over the years she has raised a lot of money for charity by doing things such as a 10,000ft sky dive, completing the biggest half marathon, The Great North Run, yet this year she has set herself a whopping challenge. Instead of a random task, she has set herself a series of challenges to raise funds for Action Medical Research.

Machu Picchu, Peru

Over the next 9 months her efforts start with the massive task of organising a big charity ball. Organising auction and raffle prizes, a comedian compare, a

Peruvian themed menu, and a disco.Then over spring and summer will be doing eBay auctions and carboot sales with donated items.Training for and running the Edinburgh marathon in May, and just when she thinks the training is over, a change of gear to train for trekking up Machu Picchu, Peru in September.

Today, when I joined Katja to talk live on Stray FM about these efforts, and heard someone (other than my mum!) say what an amazing and selfless effort this is, I was in awe of Katja. All this on top of being a great mum, and running her own business…

Then reality hit – I am her partner in crime – doing all the same!
Am I allowed to say I think I am pretty amazing?! Nope! That would be big headed… so

…Katja, you are fab, and I am honoured to be a part of the wonderful thing we are doing :)
