Sheena and Cookie sponsored by RMT Builders

WHY DID WE WANT TO GET INVOLVED?

Sheena:

I was an avid Torvill and Dean fan growing up, but didn't live near an ice rink to have lessons myself. Buying skates 6 weeks ago was the impetus to learn to figure skate.

Cookie:

I am a local builder with 2 daughters 6+9 years old who have recently started to figure skate so to support them I’ve thrown myself in the deep end and giving it a go too .
