Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As the festive season is behind us, in my case quite literally owing to the copious amounts of chocolate I dutifully scoffed my way through, I need to shed some pounds and get back in shape and I can't think of a more powerful inspiration than trying to raise some money for charity along the way.  

In February, it will be 13 years since my dad died of a brain tumour. He fought an 18 month battle with the disease, but in truth I lost 'my dad' long before he actually died. He was in his early 70s and that was bad enough, but the thought of a child suffering like that is heartbreaking and that is why I have chosen to raise some money for Anna's Hope.  Please visit their website http://www.annashope.co.uk/ to see Anna's story and find out how the money I raise will be used. 

My target is to lose 16lbs in 8 weeks, ending on 1st March. I will be getting weighed each Monday, in front of an independent witness, and will post updates as the weeks progress! If you could help spur me on and donate some money, however little, to the cause that would be wonderful.

Heartfelt thanks in anticipation of your support.
