Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

I intend to give up chocolate, alcohol AND meat during lent, for forty days plus, running from Wed 29th Feb to Saturday 15th April.  (The only exception, which I state in advance, will be a drink on my sister's wedding day on 25th March, when I am her chief and only bridesmaid.)  This is going to be a really tough challenge, combining the 3 things I gave up individually for lent for the last 3 years into giving up all 3 this year!

Apart from being character building, I hope that giving up these things will help me to lose weight, and am setting myself a target of a weight loss of 10lbs, which is an average of 1.5lbs a week.  So sponsor me now to encourage me along in my going without, and to contribute to Shelter's campaign. 

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Shelter will receive your money faster (a link from Shelter's site got me here!) and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now! 

And come back on Sun 16th to see if I've lost my 10lbs then you can donate again to reward me if you like ;-)  It's all in a great cause.

Many thanks for your support.  I really appreciate it, and Shelter will too.  To find out more about the work of Shelter please visit www.shelter.org.uk

Thanks again!
