About Us

Why We Started Fifty Two For You

We, Monty and Grace, have always been seekers of wisdom.
Over the years, we’ve read countless books like The Rules for Life, searching for guidance, purpose, and meaning for the future.

But as we thought about our own families, something struck us: so many of our grandparents’ lessons were never written down. Their wisdom, experiences, and advice lived in conversation and when they passed, much of that was lost forever.

It made us realise that we can’t wait until it’s too late. We need to capture the guidance of our parents and help others do the same while they are here to share it.

The Problem We Saw

There’s never a “perfect time” to ask the big questions.

  • Sometimes, the moment slips away.

  • Sometimes, loved ones feel they don’t have the right words.

  • And often, wisdom vanishes with them.

That realisation became the spark for Fifty Two For You.

What We Built

This isn’t about writing memoirs or documenting every story.
We created something more focused, more powerful: a way to capture life lessons and advice in simple, weekly reflections.

  • 52 questions, sent over a year.

  • Heartfelt answers delivered weekly by email.

  • A keepsake book at year’s end.

Not ghostwritten. Not polished biographies.
Just authentic wisdom, in the real words of the people who love you.

A Legacy That Lasts Forever

Winston Churchill once said, “Words are the only things that last forever.”
That’s the heart of Fifty Two For You.

Our mission is to help families preserve wisdom before it’s gone, to capture guidance that can be shared, remembered, and passed down through generations. Because the most meaningful advice isn’t from strangers or AI — it’s from the people who matter most.

And perhaps, as you read the lessons left for you, you’ll be inspired to write your own — for the people you love most.
