Dance for Women’s Health: 24-Hour Danceathon Challenge

From noon on 15th to noon on 16th May our founder, Laura Murphy will dance for 24 hours to support women in Eastbourne’s mental and physical health. As Laura celebrates her 70th year – and the next chapter of WayfinderWoman – she’s dedicating 24 hours to the women who matter most. Every step, every song, every hour danced represents a woman who needs support.

Dance with her. Donate. Share the message.

Together, we can help more women feel less alone, more hopeful, and able to move forward.  The dance hours are listed below.

Why your support matters: 

Right now in Eastbourne, thousands of women are facing overwhelming challenges alone. They’re dealing with anxiety, isolation, the cost-of-living crisis, caring responsibilities, health issues and past trauma. Many are choosing between food and essentials. Many fall through the gaps in support services.

The need for your support has never been greater.
