My story

I really wanted to raise some money for charity as a celebration of my 40th birthday.  Most of you will be aware that I am a bit of a chocaholic (it runs in the family doesn't it dad?).  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.

As many of you will know my husband Paul had Alpha 1 which is why I have picked this charity.

Please donate money and I will keep you posted how I am getting on.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thank you everyone for your support & donations. I can't quite believe that I made it. 200 days seems like a very long time. Chocolate consumption has recommenced (hurrah!) xx

How quickly the time has gone, really looking forward to Friday and the volume of chocolate I will consume. I was wondering whether I should also be sponsored for the amount of chocolate I could eat in one day!!

Thank you for all your support, including offers of eating the chocolate I wasn't. Cadburys have been in touch they are worried about the drop in their profits! 3 weeks done and counting. X
