2016 didn't go off with a great start for me as I received news of the passing of a friend a few weeks ago.
Charlotte had suffered a head trauma due to a bad fall a few years ago and never fully recovered from it. Despite her health struggles she was always such an upbeat and happy person and I can honestly say I can’t remember when she ever said a bad word about anyone. She was so full of life and it doesn’t seem real that she’s no longer here.
To celebrate her life, I’ve created a MKAL which will be available for free. If you are able to, please donate to the charity Headway, which was a fund close to Charlotte’s heart. It is dedicated to helping people who have suffered brain injuries and offers support where needed. You can find Charlotte’s page here.
Here are the details:
