Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am raising money this year for St John's Hospice Lancaster. They provided my Mum with the best palliative care I have ever witnessed. I thought it would be good just to give a little back to  a superb charitable organisation.

I am losing weight this year as a matter of urgency - I have been told that I cannot keep taking over 20 pills a day for my medical needs without it seriously shortening my life. The only way I am able to effect any real change is by trying to lose at least 4 stone this year. If I am able to do this I should be able to halve the number of prescription drugs I currently have to take.

The good news is that the Factory Owner where I work has very kindly given me a months supply of slimming products. This means that ! have 4 small meals a day that are well spaced out as I have diabetes.
