Shandre is the 35-year old mother of 2 active boys. At ages 7 and 15, they’re youngsters who play a lot of sport. When not practising, her sons are usually taking part in a sporting event. 

Unfortunately, Shandre’s health has made all physical activity challenging. With a weight of 140kg, she suffers from high blood pressure and also struggles with an excessive cholesterol count. 

Taking part in sport with her boys has naturally been impossible. But it’s often hard for Shandre to breathe normally. She feels short of breath 90% of the time and is usually far too exhausted to walk. 

Shandre’s been worried that she may suffer a stroke or a heart attack. As the mother of young dependants, she has continuous nightmares about the future.

A life without her, is something she doesn’t even want to begin imagining for her sons. 

So Shandre’s had to take decisive action and find solutions that would dissolve her stress. Now and in future. 

The 2 commitments key to her journey are: 

• Losing weight and maintaining it.
• Obtaining Life Cover.

Shandre is a supermom for valuing her children’s wellbeing a lot more than her own comfort zone. Facing reality requires inner strength. The same goes for sharing her struggles so openly. Her determination to overcome every problem for the sake of the two people who mean everything to her, is a masterclass in parenting. 

We’re proud to help Shandre find solutions. Our specialist product range helps people who are committed to health improvement secure a financial future for their loved ones. Applicants like Shandre often find it virtually impossible to get Life Cover. They’re simply declined from the get-go. But at AllLife things are done differently.
