Why did you agree to do the Corporate Eight’s Challenge?
Delighted to be able to raise money for this excellent cause Athena groups are all about supporting women through change as they start and grow their businesses, it is great to be able to help women to find their way after the trauma of domestic violence. Love the challenge of trying a new sport and competing with other teams. Really enjoy working with a group of dynamic and multitalented women. Will learn a lot about my own strengths and weaknesses. Great way to get fit.
