Given by 7 generous donors in over a year

I'm an epileptic, a 23 year old mum to a beautiful boy & I have given myself a challenge to bake 365 Recipes in 365 days!

Auckland

ABOUT ME:

My name is Ally I am a mother to a wonderful boy named Josiah I have the most amazing friends & amazing family.

I was in a car accident sometime around the end of 2014 I had been having symptoms that had been getting in the way of my daily routines this is where it really got me in a negative mind frame.

I was then diagnosed with epilepsy some time around the end of 2015. I been through alot with not being able to hold my son most times so it really did get me down.

I wanted to find a hobby that would boost my confidence up again & knowing full well I have a passion for baking (cheesecakes are my specialties.) So the search was on.

My friend had suggested that I watched a movie called Julie & Julia in hopes that I get inspired I was so inspired & so touched that I wanted to do this I wanted to be the next Julia just a bit more different.

MY MISSION:

My mission is to bake 365 recipes in 365 days this will not only help me boost my confidence not only will it show others YOU CAN do anything if you put your mind to it & not be afraid to ask for help but it will help others like me.

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?:

Most of the baking I do throughout the year is auctioned off on a auction baking page I made on Facebook the higher bidder is then to donate what they priced to this give a little page I have made I may not forget thanks to the New Zealand Epilepsy Foundation that has helped also get this page up & running then at the end of the year all donations go to the New Zealand Epilepsy Foundation which is where I also finish my challenge.

HOW YOU CAN HELP?:

Any donation counts weather it is small it is the thought that count's.

Help share this page out to people you may think can help support me & my mission.

Like my baking page that is linked to this site, share it & don't be afraid to send me baking equipment that you may no longer need or use because it will come in handy for my challenge.

And just be the amazing supporters that you all have been.

Ally Birt's involvement (page creator)

I am involved because I want to show people like me (That have epilepsy) are capable of anything if you just get out there & do it no matter what anyone else says all you need to have is the frame of mind to believe.

Posting up all my baking...  12 January 2016

So yesterday was the first time being able to get back onto my give a little page because I had forgotten my password & the email I used so was pretty upset NOT TO WORRY though I got it sorted cause I am on YAY! Now I will be posting all the baking I have done so far up until now most of the baking I had to catch up on because of the sole reason (going to be) honest had been feeling down I get into these real depressive moods because of a mind frame I was so use too since before finding out I had epilepsy... Every time I went through an episode I wanted to hide away because I didn't feel "Normal" So my partner turned around to me & said "you have come this far what reason do you have to give up when you have come so far..." I had a thought to myself I said "You're right I have no reason no excuse" So I picked up my baking bowl & started going again so yeah I have been catching up on a lot of baking so will post all my baking that I have done so far once they are all edited etc my page is going amazing everyone is so supportive & I will be sure to update when I can so you all can see what I am doing. Oh this is also another bit of baking I did this is an M&M chocolate slice also gifted these off too & feedback was also amazing. :)
