Last year, my cousin should have been celebrating his 50th birthday.

Instead, we’re honouring him 💜

We lost him far too soon to Crohn’s disease, and in his memory I’m beginning something very special…

✨ “50 to 50” ✨

A year-long fundraising journey for Crohn’s & Colitis UK — starting on what would have been his 50th, and finishing on my own 50th in November.

Across the year, I’ll be taking on different challenges… and now it’s booked, I can finally share the big one:

✈️ I’ll be doing a WING WALK.

Yes… actually standing on a plane.

I won’t be doing this alone — my family are joining me too, each taking on their own fundraising activities along the way. Together, we want to raise awareness, funds, and hope for everyone affected by Crohn’s and Colitis.

My business, Mallow Groove Marshmallows, will also be supporting this journey 💫

These conditions affect hundreds of thousands of people in the UK, and every donation truly makes a difference.

If you can support in any way — whether that’s donating, sharing, or simply following along — it would mean the world.

This is for him. Always 💜

Time to reintroduce myself

✨ Hello! I’m Rachel, the solo maker behind Mallow Groove Marshmallows ✨

I’m a Suffolk-based marshmallow maker, married with two wonderful boys and a fat cat called Cookie who firmly believes he’s in charge of this house.

I started Mallow Groove on my 40th birthday, turning a love of sweet treats and creativity into something I get to share with you. Every batch is handmade with care, fun flavours, and a whole lot of groove.

I’m so excited you’re here — whether you’ve found me at a market or stumbled across my page, thank you for supporting a small local maker with a big love for marshmallows. 💕

Stick around for delicious flavours, behind-the-scenes peeks, and plenty of marshmallow magic!

Fun Fact 21st November is my Birthday, Wedding Anniversary and Mallow Groove Business Anniversary.

I am currently raising money for @crohnsandcolitisuk
and August 2026 I will be doing something I have always wanted to do

Come and say Hi in the comments

We all have a marshmallow personality… 😂
So, what does your favourite Mallow Groove flavour say about you?

Are you a classy Raspberry & White Chocolate?
A slightly chaotic Parma Violet?
Or are you proudly embracing your Coffee & Walnut old-lady era?

👇 Tell me your favourite flavour and let’s see if we’ve got you right!

And if your favourite isn't here… we're not saying anything about what that says about you. 😉
Idea from @kookiekonorwich

This needed its own reel. The scream of joy as we came in to land after 10 minutes in the air, such a rush of adrenaline. Would I do it again - absolutely. Next time I can do aerobatics!

Wingwalk for Crohn's & Colitis UK
Duxford 23/08/2026

Soooo.....

Where do I begin?
What happens when you have always wanted to do a Wingwalk, you're about to turn 50 and you like fundraising?

Over 30 friends and family came to Duxford to watch this mad idea that I've had for over 30 years come to life.

Once you're booked in you go off to have a briefing with the rest of your time slot madmen about the risks and what to expect. Then you suit up and wait to be called forward. I was lucky to get to go first. Once airside you then make your way over to the beautiful 1942 Boeing Stearman and meet the pilot, lovely Martyn and the ground crew then start getting you on the plane. Easier said than done as you have to be incredibly careful to only stand on certain parts, once you've pulled yourself to the top you are strapped in with a five point harness, ear defenders in and that's you sorted!

Once ground checks were complete, the engine a 450 HP Pratt & Whitney Junior Wasp roared into life. The whole plane vibrates through to your bones and the sound is incredible. We then performed a 360° spin for photos before heading off to the grass runway.

The take off is incredibly fast and we were soon off while I was wondering how I came to be strapped to the outside of a plane 😂

Once we climbed we turned to fly over everyone. We had a few laps round and the views were amazing. It's incredibly hard to move your arms due to the wind pinning them down but I managed to pull some moves, also having to adjust the goggles as my eyes were streaming. I couldn't breathe through my nose and had to keep unsticking my mouth from my teeth as it's hard to keep your mouth closed with the wind. Think of a dog with its head out the window! After a few more laps it was time to come down. We flew about 600ft over the M11 and I waved to everyone on the way down 😂 The landing was incredibly smooth, make sure to watch that video to hear me screaming with excitement 😂

With the upmost thanks to the whole team at @etheldareswingwalking at Duxford, I can't thank them and recommend them enough. @crohnsandcolitisuk

The countdown to the WINGWALK has begun.
One week to go and three days of bootcamp.
Today was prepping for the flying.... Slightly harder to prep for but I think I did ok 😂
I will be strapped to the OUTSIDE of a plane flying at 2000ft, surely that's worth a £

I honestly can't wait to do this and look forward to sharing all the photos and video once it's done!

Please donate if you can, all money going to @crohnsandcolitisuk.
Link to the Just Giving page is in the bio

It honestly means so much to us 💜
