$172.75 of $3,000.00 goal

 

 Hey all, i’m Trudy🌸 and on January 2nd 2024 I started doing physical therapy 🏥 after collapsing and ending up in a wheelchair with a muscular disease called Nemaline Myopathy 🧬.

I lost a lot of my strength as a result of this and it has been a hard journey with lots of challenges and I have been fighting to rebuild my muscles🏋️‍♀️ and rely on my wheelchair as little as possible. I started lifting 15kg (Level 4) using both legs 🦵🦵, and over time worked my way up to the maximum 47kg (Level 12) 🌟, surprising all the physios and carers involved!!

I am now aiming 🎯 to train each leg individually. My starting point has been 3 x 15 reps 🔁 on (Level 8) and my aim is to be able to match this on 35kg (Level 9) 🏆 within 30 days! 📆.

I am using WTF’s fitness fundraising challenge 🏃‍♀️💚 to motivate me further, with all donations raised being TRIPLED ✨ by a donation matching program and all funds supporting animal rights activist's who are on the front line speaking for animals in need. I love animals❤️ and I can’t stand the idea of them being hurt 😢, and so with every bit of strength I build 💪 and every donation that comes in 🙌, I know that I’ll be doing my bit to help the them 🐑🐖🐓. The more I lift 🏋️‍♀️ and the more I raise 💰, the more animals we can save 🌍💚!

Thank you 🙏 for taking time to read through this. Two thirds of the funds raised will support my local team in Arnhem and the other third will go towards helping new WTF teams set up around the world🌍, so we really value anything that you can give 💕.
