I’m so truly grateful for this opportunity, and thank you David for being vulnerable with me too." - Sharon*** Special Shoutout to Arthur (Age 8), who 'enjoys running, skateboarding and reading Percy Jackson, Alanna (Age 11), who 'makes the best ginger cake in the world and also has a very talented mum who makes the best jewelry', and their father George (Occupatioal Therapist) from Peckham.---WHY?
