<p>I really wanted to raise some money for charity as a celebration of my 40th birthday. &nbsp;Most of you will be aware that I am a bit of a chocaholic (it runs in the family doesn't it dad?). &nbsp;On the 30th April it will be 200 days to my birthday (16th Nov - reminder to get the presents bought!), so I am giving up chocolate until then.</p> <p>As many of you will know my husband Paul had Alpha 1 which is why I have picked this charity.</p> <p>Please donate money and I will keep you posted how I am getting on.</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
