Yes #7: Telegraph Ski and Snowboard Show 2013

After 3 amazing trips with the Caring Cancer Trust, I was asked by the chairman and hon secretary, Ian, if I would be interested in going to help out at The Telegraph Ski and Snowboard Show in October. Funded by The Telegraph, the Ski and Snowboard Show is held every year in October in Manchester and London and is a big exhibition which promotes top ski brands, resorts, tour operators and more as well as holding talks and shows where visitors can learn more about their hobby.
 
I was honoured to be asked and agreed to go. Shannon was also asked, and also agreed to go. At the show, we stood by the Caring Cancer Trust stall promoting the charity, getting people to fill in a leaflet to win a free ski holiday in Pila, Italy, our next holiday destination and sold raffle tickets where visitors could win a signed painting of Olympic skier Graham Bell painted by Johnny Midnight.
 
The first show was in Manchester held at Event City where we were joined by Alex, the director of the ski school in Pila.
Me, Alex and Shannon on our stand.
 
Our stand was in a really good place. The venue had an ice rink, with real ice, which visitors could skate on for free! All they needed to do was book a place in a time slot, turn up at that time, put some boots on and have fun. This meant we were in one of the main places of show and thousands of people were seeing our stand as they walked by or as they skated and it bought us a lot of donations.
 
As we were right next to the rink, every afternoon when the show started to get quiet, me and Shannon would have half an hour on the ice and by the end of the 4 days, we were pretty good skaters.
 
The show in Manchester lasted 4 days, Thursday through to Sunday. After this, we packed everything up and took a 4 hour drive down to London.
 
When we got to London we met up with Carole, the owner and director of ski company PilaSki. She was staying in a hotel room with Ian and Alex whilst me and Shannon were booked in to stay in a hostel across the road. After me and Shannon were told we were staying in a hostel, we weren't too sure about it after reading reviews but went ahead with it anyway. When we went in there, firstly there were men walking around drunk with their private parts hanging out, secondly the receptionist was the rudest person I have ever met, and thirdly, when we got up to our room, there was a pile of rubbish in the middle of the floor, crumpled up dirty bed sheets and a shower which was green and black and disgusting. Within two minutes of being in the room, we walked out again and were booked into a room in the hotel everyone else was staying in. This hotel was luxury and was just a 5 minute walk from the venue. 
 
After that cofuffle, we dropped off our suitcases and headed for the venue where we picked up our exhibitor passes and headed to set up our stand. We weren't in the best of places this time, but still a place where we could grab lots of visitors. Our stand was also next to Johnny Midnights stand so it was great to meet him and see all of his paintings.
 
At the end of the hall, there was a fake ski slope where people could have beginner lessons and nearby this was the ice rink, but this one was slightly bigger than the one in Manchester.
 
The London show lasted a hole week and during this show, we didn't use the ice rink every day but we did have a few goes on it and we were able to look around the rest of the stalls at the show and see what was on offer.
 
 
The hotel we stayed in was right next to an Italian Restaurant which we ate at every night. They served massive portions, but it was the nicest restaurant I've been to and the staff were so lovely!
 
On the Thursday in London, we had a big reunion where all the children from the previous ski trip and their families came to the show to meet up again. They were able to look around the show and have a go on the ice rink and the ski slope. This was quite fun because my mum and sister were quite jealous that I had been skiing and they hadn't, so it was good to see them have a go on the fake slope.

During the reunion, we all went into a presentation room where each of the children who came on the ski trip were presented with their ski awards. Other awards were also given out such as awards to our camera guys, to our ski instructors and even to me, Shannon and another of our friends Jimmy for being mentors.
 
 
The reunion was really good and it was lovely to see everyone again.
 
The ski show was a really good experience and I loved every minute of helping out! If I got the opportunity again, I would definitely say yes, and also take money with me to actually buy some ski stuff!
 
Don't be afraid,

Say Yes!

Yes #6: Summer in Morzine

After going snowboarding twice with Caring Cancer Trust giving me the most amazing time of my life, I was then invited back again for a third time! This time, it was for their summer trip, and it meant going back to Morzine which I loved! This was just a few months after going to Morzine to snowboard so I was excited to see how differnt it would be without snow.

This was the first time I had been on the summer trip with the chartiy so I was quite nervous as I didn't really know what to expect. However, when I got to the airport, I was greeted by some of the people I had met on the winter trip so this made me feel so much more relaxed! Shannon and Kirushni from Morzine in the winter were two of the girls and I was so glad because they were such lovely girls!

Kirushni, me and Shannon

We didn't stay in the same chalet we stayed in when we came in the winter. This time, we stayed in a lovely little chalet in the back streets of Morzine owned by a man called Darren and his company Great Escape. The chalet is one of the nicest I have ever stayed in! Inside it is so big with so many different sized bedrooms, a sauna and steam room, a kitchen area, an area where everyone can sit together at tables to eat and a bit living area to just chill. It's such a traditional kind of style of chalet and it makes you feel so at home!


In the chalet, there were two people who worked there who did all our cooking and cleaning. Their names were Emma and Miles. As well as doing their best to look after us in the chalet and make sure we all had a great time, they also came a did a lot of the activities with us which was really great fun! Having a good bond and friendship with chalet staff is one of the things that make you feel right at home. 


Unfortuantely, I don't have a picture with Darren, but he was the best host we could have possibly asked for. He did everything he could to make our holiday the best it could have been and he arranged all of our activities for us and took us there every day.

There was one day when we had a thunder storm which meant we werent able to do white water rafting which was planned for that day because it was too dangerous. Instead of just leaving us, Darren spent the whole day figuring out something for us to do. 

During the day, we took a trip into the village to do a bit of souvenir shopping whilst the rain was a bit calmer. It was really interesting to see what everything looked like without snow and see some of the slopes we had skied and snowboarded down only a matter of a few months before. It was a nice trips into such a beautiful little village but on the way back, we got VERY wet!



When the thunderstorm finished in the afternoon, he took us down to a foresty walk with his dog. At first, the idea didn't sound great, but he made it so much fun. Throughout the walk, there were little gym type obstacles which he made competitions on which were really fun! For an impromptu activity, it was such a good one! Darren's imagination is one of a kind.


However, as much as fun as this activity was, the activities on the days that it was sunny were just mind blowing! The activities included:

Rock Climbing
Rather than just rock climbing on them fake walls with colourful bits to stand and hold onto, we were able to do proper rock climbing up a cliff face. Whilst one of us were climbing up the rocks, another one of us were at the bottom with their rope attatched round out waist on a pully controlling how safe they were. It was scary putting full trust into someone else but it was so worth it!


White Water Rafting
After this activity being cancelled on the day of the storm, Darren was able to rescheduel it for another day, and thank god he did! White water rafting is such an adrenalin rush and such a buzz! If you ever get the chance to have a go, definitely do it! Unfortuantely, due to the nature of the activity, I don't have any pictures of during it. But here's a picture of our team in all of our gear.


High Ropes
High ropes is a bit tree top course that includes balance beams, zip wires and lots of landing on nets.. It sounds scary, but you know you're safe because you're attatched to safety harnesses and it really is such a fun thing to do! It does take a lot of energy though.. 


Zip Wiring
One of the days we went to do a zip wire, and it wasn't any normal zip wire, it was the Fantasticable! This is a zip wire that goes over the mountains around 150m high. It is split into two seperate wires, but together makes 1,257m long. You have to wear some harness which allows you to glide down the zip wire hanging on your tummy. You look so silly, but it's comfy and safe!



Tobogganing
As an afternoon activity after zip wiring, we were taking to a toboggan. I've always been a bit scared of these but it was so much fun! Well the second time anyway, the first time I got stuck behind a lady who was so scared she was moving down it as slow as a snail!


Lakes, canoes and Pedalo's
In the week, we got to visit two beautiful lakes. One of them was classed more as a beach because there was sand and the lake was so big we thought it was the sea at first, until we realised we were on top of a mountain and there would be no sea.. At the lakes, we had a chance to sunbathe and relax, play on some canoes and play on some slide pedalos!



All of the activities were absoloutely amazing! However, there was one activity that was kept a secret from us all until we arrived at the place..

Paraglyding!
None of us could actually believe it when we were told we were going to jump off of a mountain with a parachute attatched to us, but it was true! It was honestly the most insane experience of my life! It was such a good afternoon as no one missed out on the fantastic opportunity as everyone, with the encouragement and support of the rest of the group, fought the fear and jumped off that mountain!


Overall, this holiday was a chance in a lifetime and the best week I have ever had! We got to experience the most insane things and we just had such an amazing time! Everyone in this group bonded really well too and there was so much friendship bought from this trip. 
None of this however would have been possible with Darren, so thankyou Darren! What an incredible man!
I gained a best friend from this trip. Me and Shannon were friends from the winter we shared together in Morzine, but something on this holiday clicked (we believe it was the night we spent throwing sweet wrappers into a bin together) and we have been best friends ever since.

These holidays really are life changing things. For kids that have gone through such a traumatic experience, these holidays really do help to life up their spirits again and give them their confidence back. Being able to experience things like we have with people who understand exactly what you have been through and what you are feeling is something you just couldn't ask for.


I'm so lucky to be able to experience opportunities like this and meet the amazing people I have met on the way. The Caring Cancer Trust do such an amazing thing and I could never pay them back for what they have given me.

Don't be afraid,

Say Yes!

Yes #5: National Citizen Service

The NCS was such a fantastic experience, getting to meet so many new people and getting to do so many things you never would usually get to do.
Heres how the four weeks went:

Week 1
The first week was a residential trip to an activity centre in the Isle of Wight called Little Canada. As it was in the IOW, it meant we had to get the ferry across so we met up at the ferry station. I started the experience not knowing one person at all who was doing it too, so I stood with some girls when I first arrived. After a few minutes, I looked around and spotted someone I knew from school, so I soon went over to say hey. Its fair to say I felt so relived that I actually knew someone! And after not long, another girl arrived who I knew from school who I also stayed with on the school ski trip, so I felt much more relaxed. They both arrived with other people, but I soon became friends with them.
After a half an hour ferry ride and a 15 minute drive, we arrived at the activity centre. We were told about the week and taken to our rooms. I shared a room with the girl I knew from school and her friend so that was good fun!
We were split into 4 groups and each group had one of the adult leaders and we stayed in the groups for the four weeks. They just ment that the groups for each activity were reasonable sizes. Thankfully, the group I was in was with the two people I already knew and their friends and 4 others.
Throughout the week we did different activites such a rok climbing, absailing, tunnel trails, zip wires, giant swings, kyaking, dragon boating and matrix. I went to this activity centre when I was in junior school and matrix was my favourite thing ever so to get to relive that again was incredible! But every activity we did was incredible!
Inbetween activities and in the evening we had time to chill with eachother so I was able to make friends with a lot of other people. One of the great things was standing in the area infront of the huts and all standing in a circle throwing a rugby ball to eachother playing one-knee-two-knee.

Week 2
The second week we spent living at Reece Halls which is a set of university living halls in Portsmouth for students but because it was the summer holidays, it meant that we were able to stay there. We each had our own room which was great, but I ended up sleeping in my friends room for the week anyway.
The rest of that day, we were in our groups and had a little survey to go and do around Portsmouth. But we didnt have a out original team leader, we had a different one because they other one had to go back to work unfortuantly, but this one was fab too! We all discovered that apart from 4 of us in our group, we all went to the same senior school including our team leader!


Throughout this week, each day we did a different thing.
The first day we went to the study centre which was next to Portsmouths football ground. Throughout the day we did three different activites with people from different companies. One of the activities was to go and look around Portsmouths football ground, Fratton Park, but instead of looking round, we just sat and watched the team train on the field which was great!
Another of the days we went to Portsmouth University where we did a day of team building activities with some of the students there.
In the evenings, we would either have chill out time in the living area and garden in the university halls or a small evening activity. One of the activities was first aid training and another was learning about STI's, but they were both done in a fun way. After we went out for dinner at a diferent restaurant every night which was really nice!

Week 3 and 4
The last two weeks were spent in the study centre where we worked as groups to organise a fundraising event for a charity of our choice. We had a few ideas such as a blind walk along the beach for Portsmouth's Blind Association but in the end we made contact with a curry restaurant where we held a curry night with a raffle where we raised around £500 for the Beneficial Foundation who give support to people with disabilities in leading a normal life and finding work.


This week was really interesting because where everyone was doing a different charity, we found out about so many different charities and the amazing things they do. Also throughout this week I made some new friends as I worked with people who I hadn't really spoken to originally in the last two weeks.

Graduation
If you complete the whole four weeks of NCS, you get to graduate with a certificate.
The graudation was great because it meant we got to dress up all fancy and meet up with everyone again and just have a really good night!


Overall the NCS was a great experience for me and I'm SO glad that I said yes to it!
You can get involved with your local NCS trips by just going to the NCS website!
If you have been on NCS trips, you are on one currently or you are going on one this summer, let me know how it goes in the comments! I'd love to know what you get up to in your local area with the NCS!

Don't be afraid,

Say Yes!

Yes #5: National Citizen Service

In my last few weeks of school, a man came in and talked to my year group about the National Citizen Service (NCS) and the opportunities they give teenagers.

The NCS gives 16-17 year olds an opportunity to build new work and life skills whilst taking on big challenges and and meeting lots of new friends.
They take you on a four week course where you will have two weeks away from home; one taking part in different challenges such as rock climbing and dragon boating and the second living in university halls and getting a taste of university life, and two weeks where you will take part in a team project to help your community.
During the four weeks, you take on new challenges and learn new skills, grow your confidence and your CV, make a difference in your community and make new friends. 
At the end of the four weeks, you graduate with a certificate.

NCS in 60 seconds

As soon as the course was explained to us, I knew I wanted to do it, so there and then, I went and spoke to the man, James Shannon, and signed up.
None of my friends wanted to do it, but that didn't bother me. After all the stuff I had already said yes to, this would be nothing too scary.

My experiences of the four weeks will be up soon!

Don't be afraid,

Say Yes!

Yes #4: Skiing in Saalbach, Austria

Before I had found out about the Caring Cancer Trust and got involved with their ski trips, going skiing is something I always wanted to do. It was one of them things on my bucket list.

My senior school did ski trips every year but we could just never really afford to go.
In year 9, a few of my friends went on the ski trip and I did want to go but I just knew we didn't have the money, but then I mentioned it to my mum when the opportunity to come up to go on the next trip and she offered to scrape some money together so that I could go, purely because I had never been abroad with the school and my sister went twice when she was in school so mum thought it was only fair.
 Unfortuantly, I was late to get a place so I was put on the waiting list and never did get a place on that trip, but it meant I was guarenteed a place on the trip in year 11, and so I went..


I was so so so nervous because as much as I knew some of the people going, I wouldn't say I was close friends with them and I never really spoke to them much and none of my own friends were going. It was possibly the biggest step out of my comfort zone I have ever taken!
When I got on the coach, I just sort of sat in a seat on my own because I didn't know anyone to sit next to. Not long after, the two girls, Megan and Jodie, I knew most on the trip got onto the coach and Megan had her sister with her, Rhiannon, a year 8 who also didn't know anyone on the trip apart from her sister so she sat next to me and Megan and Jodie sat on the other side of the isle. It took a while to get talking, but after an hour or so we couldn't stop. All three of them made me feel so comfortable!

It took twenty-something long hours on the coach with long chats, uncomfortableness and a lack of sleep before we arrived in Saalbach, Austria and were greeted by these stunning views!




When we arrived at our hotel, I found I was sharing a room with three other girls, Molly, Aimee and Rhia, three girls who I'd never really said more than a few words to but who all already knew each other.. But they made me feel so relaxed and at ease straight away and I ended up really enjoying sharing a room with them!
Althought I did feel bad because I always got the hot shower and they all managed to get the cold shower.. (everyone in the hotel showered as soon as we got back everyday so the hotel's hot water ran out SO quickly but I managed to time my showers just right and get the hot water, I was just super lucky I guess).


Over the week, I became friends with a lot more people on the trip and become really quite close with Molly (in the picture above) and Rhiannon. I ended up having such a good week with everyone despite being really nervous and not knowing any of them at the start!



The teachers who took us were absoloutely amazing, especially Miss Nineham. I had a few shakey moments throughout the trip, being ill, mild panic attacks on the slopes etc, but she stuck by me the whole time making sure I was okay and she was my rock through that week. I had a really close bond with her back at school after the trip too and I couldn't thank her enough for the amount she has helped me really.


One main story that really made me laugh throughout the week is that some how a rumour (which I really wish was true!) had got out that I was a professional snowboarder and I had won gold medals in world championships and things..
I remember telling one or two people that I had snowboarded the year before and I was going again the day after we got home, but somehow that esculated into this story and so many people were asking me all different questions about it and I really really don't know how it got so big!
It did make my week though, it was so funny!



As well as skiing, we got to go to different places in the evenings such as a party, a big massive (and I must say amazing!) swimming pool and to watch a game of professional ice hockey.
The ice hockey was actually really intersting! Even though I can't remember who was actually playing and who won.. haha! It's such an underated sport in the UK!

Overall, as much as I was nervous and scared at the start of the week, I had such a brilliant week and it was spent with brilliant people and I am SO glad that I stepped out of my comfort zone and I said yes and went on this trip because it was an amazing experience and it has built me up so much and gave me the confidence to do so much more on my own!
One thing I did learn was I am a dreadful skiier and ski boots are the worlds most uncomfiest things.. I'll stick to snowboarding from now on!



Are you ever too scared to do things or go places without your friends? Don't be! It's really not worth relying on other people to go with. You can still have an amazing time on your own and meeting new people!

Don't be afraid,

Say Yes!

Yes #3: Snowboarding in Morzine

If you've read my blog previously, you will know that I went snowboarding in La Rosière with the Caring Cancer Trust and had the most amazing time ever! Well, a few months after we came home, I got a call from them asking if I would like to go again as a mentor on the summer trip. I couldn't believe that they wanted to take me again! But unfortunately, I couldn't go as I was on a family holiday the week they had the summer trip scheduled for. But then they asked me something else:
"Okay then, what about next years winter trip? We can put you on that trip as a mentor?"
I honestly couldn't believe it! But of course, I accepted their offer.


When it come round to April 2013, it was time to drive up to London to meet everyone. This time, because of how horrible the coach journey was the year before, we were meeting at the airport to fly there. This meant the journey was quicker and much more pleasant; the flight to Geneva only took around an hour and a half and then there was an hour drive into France and up the mountains. When we got out plane tickets, we just sat in the seats on our tickets rather than swapping around. This was good because I didn't know anyone this year, so I made friends with the person I sat next to. His name was Tom and he was really nice! We got on really well, and throughout the rest of the holiday we became good friends, as did I with everyone else.
One girl I shared a room with was called Shannon. She was such a lovely girl, and we've become such good friends and we still keep in touch and see each other now. I couldn't ask for a better person to share these holidays and this experience with than her.

When we arrived at our chalet in the evening, it seemed a lot more modern than the one we stayed in the previous year, but it was still so pretty and it had an amazing view over the little village! The inside consisted of several bedrooms, a lovely living and dining area everyone could sit together at and a games room with an xbox and a table football game! It was such a nice chalet with so much to do!



Before we had out first dinner, we went out to the hire shop to get out boots, boards and skis. There were 5 of us on snowboards and 10 on skis. We were ready for our first day!

To get right to the top of the mountain where we would be skiing, we had to take the gondola which was really scary because it was so old a shaky, but gave you such a good view!
We started off going over the basics so that me and another boy who had gone the previous year (I didn't recognise him at the airport, but I remembered him now!) could remember what to do and the other 3 could start learning. I picked it up again surprisingly quickly! Then we got going down some small slopes learning to slide across the mountain and turn.
By the end of the week, we were going down a red slope (the second hardest slope you will find. VERY steep with no obstacles).


During this holiday, I made closer relationships with the other kids than I did with the previous holiday because instead of the snowboarders and skiers going to different places, we all stayed in the same chalet together and we had chances for boarders and skiers to go down the same slopes at the same time. And on occasions, skiers took the snowboarders round flat slopes which are a snowboarders worst nightmare because you get stuck, so the skiers had to pull us boarders along with their sticks, it was great fun! haha! 
Because everyone had to work together, we all formed closer bonds and good relationships.

We all formed such good friendships that we even worked together to get up to mischief  too!
When we first got to our chalet, on each of our beds were an SPF Lipbalm, a small bottle of showergel and a small bottle of shampoo.
So one day, (in the girls defence, the boys started this off, we just went outside and joined in the fun), the boys got all of their little bottles of showergel and shampoo the chalet had supplied and poured them al into the hot tub and then turn the hot tub jets on, and this happened: 




The bubbles rolled all the way down the hill eventually..
This all happened over the period of about 20 minutes, if that! 
The adults weren't too happy about it and they told everyone involved that they would have to help the chalet staff clean the tub out, but when they told he chalet staff this, they laughed, said it was such a funny idea and they said "oh no, you had fun! Cleaning it out is our job, that's what we're paid for, don't worry about that!". They were amazing about it. At the beginning of the week, they even challenged us to get as many people in the hot tub as possible, their best try was 14 people. Unfortunately, we didn't manage to beat it because not everybody wanted to go in the hot tub): But if they did, we could have done it easily!

During the day, skiing and snowboarding was so much fun, but by the end of the day you were aching so a soak in the hot tub was fab! 
During the day, we even got to relax in the cafè with a nice hot chocolate!


But then we went out again after and worked harder than ever!







When we arrived home in the afternoon, the chalet staff always had some treats waiting for us, sometimes a cake, sometimes brownies and sometimes cookies, but they all made by them during the day, how lovely!
Once we had nibbled on these (they were always so delicious!) we would have a shower, have some dinner and then either go down into the games room together and challenge each other on table football (team Stewie and Alex for the win!) or one night we all sat round the sofas together, even with Graham Bell (an olympic skier) and his family and sang songs whilst James, our snowboarding instructor played the guitar. We even got Graham and Ash, one of the three amazing chalet staff, to take it in turns playing on the guitar with James! Little duets(:
It was such a lovely atmosphere and it's one of them special nights I'll never forget!


The chalet staff were truly amazing and I couldn't thank them enough for what they did for us! I have missed these guys so much since we left it's unreal! Three in a million these are!
Thankyou Ash, Stu and Jez!


But the most special part of this holiday that I will never ever ever ever ever forget was getting to witness AND be a part of an engagement between to wonderful people!

At the beginning of the day, only some of the adults knew what was going to happen, then I got secretly told it by the nurse I was super close to (who's name I'm not mentioning because she didn't tell me anything at all, really..) and then a few more of the kids found out but by the time it happened, half of the kids still didn't know!

During lunch, we were called outside for a group "photo". Four of the boys were given a folded banner to hold, and they were told that when the camera man had counted down from 3, once he reached 1, they were to drop the sign so we could see what it said. The four boys genuinely thought the sign just said the name of the charity, but in fact it said "will you marry me?".
Then one got down on ones knee and proposed to his beautiful girlfriend, in to which she said yes!


It the most extraordinary and romantic and cutest and wonderful thing I have ever witnessed and the fact he wanted us kids to be a part of it to make it as special as possible just, wow. I have no words for it!
Thankyou and congratulations!

The fact I got the opportunity to do this once again, I couldn't thank Ian, the hon secretary of the charity, and everybody else enough! 
The experience has honestly changed my life for the better.
This charity is such an amazing charity and I will do whatever I can to give what they have given me back to them!



You can have an opportunity like this if you just say yes. It may be hard at first, but you will never thank yourself for saying that three letter word!

Don't be afraid,

Say Yes!

Yes #2: Joining St John Ambulance Cadets

My dream job is to become a Paramedic. I've been helped so much in my life and I want to give that back, and what better way to do that than working in an ambulance and travelling different places and never knowing what you're going to find!
To fulfil this dream, I want to study Paramedic Science in university, but one of their requirements is experience in a medical environment so I researched and found that being a cadet with St John Ambulance you learn basic first aid and get first aid qualifications and you go on get the chance to go on first aid duty at public events. And these sort of duties are exactly what the universities are looking for. So I said yes and went for it..

Just like the last trip, I didn't know anyone at all, but there were more advantages to joining than disadvantages. I rang (or should I say my mum rang..) the number we found on the St John website and they gave us the nearest meeting point and the time they meet and just said to go along. So we did..

When I got there, there was another girl there joining for the first time as well so I felt a bit more comfortable. But it turned out she already knew someone there.. But we still got on well and we've been good friends since.
I really enjoyed the first meeting with them and I kept going back each week. 

Through joining them, I've been on a few courses and learnt a lot of first aid skills that could potentially save someone's life, been on first aid duty and helped treat people's injuries and made several new lovely friends!

Cheeky selfie in my uniform on course!

Saying yes to joining St John Ambulance has given me so many opportunities and has taught me some valuable life skills. I've got so much out of it and there isn't one thing I regret about joining.


Don't be afraid,

Say Yes!
