40 Things Before 40 – Number 40.

Here’s me getting ready for the #roomtoreadgala last night…

So Number 40 on my 40 Things to do Before 40, I had a lofty goal of losing weight, of all the 40 things this was the hardest and I didn’t do it, not at all! But instead I had the best back up goal and that was to find a charity that was close to my heart and support them in their goals. Room to Read transforms the lives of millions of children through literacy and gender equality in education; and last night we got to hear not only from the founder John Wood the amazing work that they do but also directly from one of their Nepal graduates Kabita Thapa whose story totally encapsulates their mantra of “The End of Impossible” – eliminating illiteracy. So I didn’t loose the weight… but yay! my heart sure feels lighter!
