My blog

Week 5 of COVID 19 lock down.

I have enjoyed the Easter holidays. Gardening and falling asleep in the garden with my daughter after to much skipping and watering.

 

So I am doing okay. However Juggling home schooling, the technology for the day job working and cleaning is hard work.

I am managing to give back. Volunteering one 1 to give calls.

My lunch and learn webinars are very successful. Many people attending. The Thursday nights are also good for people to attend and just have #time to talk

I have also managed to be attend some webinars not mine to learn new things.

Why BAME

Finally a big concern for me has been the number of deaths . So upsetting. Especially the deaths in America from Black and minority backgrounds.

I was upset about the lady not black but who survived the war but has been killed by COVID and also by the death of Rob tinders grand father a Jewish refugee who he was so fond of.

I will be releasing his podcast earlier as a sign of respect.

 

I was so upset as well by the death of NHS workers and the pregnant nurse who died but her child survived.

 

I have been looking at the evidence and considering what I can do?

 

Well, because statistically black and minority ethnics are disproportionately dying from Covid-19. BME in the UK make up just 13% of the population but account for 35% of Covid-19 related deaths. There are many reasons for this:

So I will be doing some fundraising for the NHS and BAME community.

Please donate via my fundraising page.

Every little counts.

I have been inspired by the war veteran who has raised £10 million pounds for the nhs by walking with his Zimmer frame.

What a legend.

 

Look out for my challenge please.

It may well be a combination of sparkles, press ups and squats.
