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.

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!!
Only a few weeks to go then I can OD on chocolate. May end up in a coma. Thank you to everyone that has sponsored me, if you haven't yet .......WHY NOT!!! Come on guys :)
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
