Story

<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #0000ff; font-size: 10pt;">Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 17lbs lost so far - only 46 lbs to go!</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #0000ff; font-size: 10pt;">Most people choose to set resolutions on the 1st January - mine always start on 25th January!&nbsp; Big things always happen on the 25th January and I didn't want 2011 to be any different!&nbsp; My resolution is a challenge - I want to lose 4 stone 7lbs (63lbs in total)&nbsp;by 1st September 2011, and I&rsquo;m hoping that you think this is worth donating a bob or two.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #0000ff; font-size: 10pt;">The charity I have chosen is related to researching a condition which not only affects me&nbsp;but also so many other women, but awareness is very low.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #0000ff; font-size: 10pt;">I was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2006, and that was only after much nagging at my doctors.&nbsp; I knew it was a possibility as it's a hereditary condition.&nbsp; Treatment contained it for quite a while but in the last 18 months it has accelerated dramatically and I am now at stage four.&nbsp; I want this&nbsp;challenge to not only benefit me but also raise awareness and hopefully find treatments to stop other women going through any pain.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #0000ff; font-size: 10pt;">There&rsquo;s a lot of pounds to shift -&nbsp;I promise to keep this updated with my weekly progress and if you fancy joining me at a spinning class, stopping me eating a millionaire shortbread or just donating then its all gratefully received! </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #0000ff; font-size: 10pt;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
