1st dip.

Thursday 13th Nov
So today I done my first dip!! I know it’s 12 dips in December but I wanted my first and last dips done on special days and in Sandra Denton favourite place, so this morning a convoy of us headed to carne on her birthday to do my first dip. It was emotional, to be where her soul resides, where her heart always was and forever will be, a place she should be looking forward to going back to if she was only heard, if her doctors had of took more notice, if only one more test was done. We can’t send her presents on her birthday but we will try to make a difference in her honour for more people going forward. So if you could please support my fundraiser in aid of the Irish Heart Foundation in Sandra’s memory it would be greatly appreciated . Love Rachel. Happy heavenly birthday san

My sign is ready!!!

Tuesday 11th Nov

In memory of Sandra.

Sunday 2nd Nov
On the 18th of June we received the devastating news that Sandra had passed away in her sleep, the shock, sadness and disbelief was unbearable but the news we received from her autopsy was worse as her death and our pain was avoidable. She had been attending doctors for what she thought was fibromyalgia and menopause with symptoms such as heart palpitations, sweating and pains but turned out to be a deadly condition known as coronary artery disease. Sandra was 47, her life was cut short because the symptoms were brushed aside as menopause. Sandra’s  48 birthday occurs on the 13th of November and I have decided to raise awareness of this condition, which is too often diagonosed as menopause, if you feel something is not right please please push for more tests and more answers as women’s heart condition symptoms can be very different from men’s. So for Sandra I’m going to do the 12 dips of December to raise money in her memory and to hopefully avoid any other family suffering the pain grief and loss we are currently and will forever be going through.

Well done Rachel. I lost my brother Ashley in April 2020 to this silent disease. His passing saved my life as I would never have been checked. I had 4 blockages and had to have 2 stents placed. Like your sister I put everything down to menopause symptoms and just brushed it off. Just get checked if you are feeling unwell, trust your gut and stick with your instincts...xx
