Aching Arms: Our Charity Fundraising with LouiseFitness

Aching Arms is a charity dedicated to supporting parents who have experienced the heartache of leaving the hospital without their babies. 



They work to raise awareness of the impact that pregnancy and baby loss can cause to families and hope to bring some comfort to newly bereaved parents by offering them an Aching Arms bear before they leave the hospital.

The charity is run by group of bereaved mothers, who work tirelessly to offer a line of friendship and support to parents who are coping with the emptiness and pain of losing their much-wanted baby.


The charity provides bears to hospitals for midwives to give to the parents as well as reaching out to those who contact them directly.  You can contact Aching Arms to donate a bear to a family in memory of a baby lost too soon.


Louise chose this well-deserved charity to be the beneficiaries of our recent fundraising.

With the very generous contributions of all our lovely ladies at LouiseFitness, together we managed to raise £450 for Aching Arms which is a truly phenomenal amount. Especially knowing the impact it will have on the families that will find comfort in receiving a bear as a result.


On behalf of Louise & the rest of the team, we'd like to thank you to all of you for donating.

Ms Surrey Curve 2015 does the Louise Bunny Hop-a-thon!

#BH
To celebrate the end of the "Drop a Dress Size" challenge, Louise offered us a real treat; 
a Hop-a-thon!  2 classes back to back, burning up to 1,400 calories first thing on a Saturday morning. 


Over the 6 weeks of the challenge I completely surpassed my own expectations by attending 3 classes a week and sometimes even four!  I really pushed myself to keep the momentum going and it worked. I was totally chuffed to find out that I lost 9 inches overall, I dropped a dress size by simply moving more and I loved every single second! 

I rave about Bunny Hop to everyone I possibly can, so for the hop-a-thon I managed to rope 3 of my girlfriends into doing it with me...even at 9.30 they came in full spirits. So, there we were, wiggling & jiggling our cares away and of course I did the whole class wearing my #MsSurreyCurve2015 sash with pride!


The class was full and people were loving the awesome playlist Lou created for us.  

We all had a tonne of fun, I would do it all again in a heartbeat!
