To celebrate Mother's Day, THM wanted to share a story about a mother who made hockey history. 🏑💐
Mary D’Oyley made history in 1896 by playing in the first ever women’s hockey international & being the first married woman & mother to represent her country in hockey!

ALT Judith and Cathryn stand together on holiday, they are smiling to camera and there is a snowy lake behind them. On the image is a quote that says: I miss Judith more than words can possibly describe. She was such a special person to me and whilst I know I can’t change what happened to her, I can make a difference for other women.

This is a lovely book of quizzes and recipes from Judith Henderson, put together by her partner Cathryn Riley after Judith's premature death from cancer. The quizzes are tasty and the recipes are head-scratching; all proceeds to The Eve Appeal (@eveappeal)
