Hello,

Big news in our house.

Liv is leaping from a plane near Nottingham on Wednesday 15th May (this week) around 1pm.

She has so far raised a whopping Β£445

Its part of Loughborough Uni Rag Week, where she is a second year engineering student.

A few weeks ago she went on a fundraising drive offering to do 5km runs for every Β£50 donated and bless her, with a TSH of 5.8 she has battled through and completed all her runs. (We are working on that TSH don't you worry!)

She has the TUK T shirt ready to go πŸ¦‹

If you can spare a few quid to this wonderful charity who do so much for us, here is the link:

justgiving.com/page/olivia-...

...I'll be waiting for the 'Mum, I'm on the ground' call, unfortunately I can't be there to cringe as she does it.

Well done! I don't function at all well with my TSH at that level. Does she experience morning ankle stiffness? I once read it's common to hypothyroidism and rheumatoid arthritis (which I don't have, thankfully).

Yes we both have stiff ankles in the morning!

She’s such a trooper only recently gone over range and not noticeably symptomatic, no antibodies either. Bless her πŸŒ±πŸ¦‹

A friend's husband found her "bucket list" and, for her 40th birthday, told her to dress up warm and drove her to Langar airfield for a tandem jump, ignoring any pleas of "I didn't really mean it!" as she was suited up and bundled onto the plane. The photos were hilarious.
