I'm writing a book - for Willow, my granddaughter.
Not for a publisher. Not for a list.
But for Willow-so she understands the path I've walked and believes, truly, that anything is possible.
It's a letter across time.
A map of the moments that shaped me.
The highs, the hard-won lessons, the unexpected turns.
The brave leaps. The beautiful wrong turns. The things I'd do again-and the things I wouldn't.
Because I want her to know:
Her path won't always be clear. Or fair.
But it will always be hers.
And while the world might try to put her in a box-she never has to stay there.
And here's where you come in.
To everyone I've worked with over the years-at Macro, Arrow, Premier Farnell, Thomas Cook, IBM-and all those who've fundraised alongside me for causes like:
🧡The Academy for Youth with Potential
🧡Dereham Meeting Point
🧡Norwich High School for Girls
🧡Gressenhall Play Park
🧡Sri Panwa Save the Turtles
If we shared a project, a challenge, a laugh or a learning...
What moment do you think should make the book?
Big or small. Funny, fierce, or formative-I'd love to hear what stood out for you.
And while the writing is underway, I'd love your thoughts on the title.
Here are a few early contenders:
1. Getting Better Never Stops
2. The Left Field Candidate
3. The Green Guide to Positive Change
What do you think?
Something else come to mind?
