Hello again!
As most people who visit this page will know, I have lost 7st in the past 2 and a bit years. Losing weight is hard and to keep myself motivated, I decided I'd set myself a long term challenge to help me reach my 8 stone weightloss goal.
The first year, I completed the Race for Life in aid of Cancer Research UK
The second year I completed the Jane Tomlinson 10k Run For All in aid of the cancer charity, Janes Appeal.
The third year (this year), I aim to complete the Great North Run half marathon on 19th Sept in aid of Asthma UK.
The fourth year, I aim to complete the London Marathon. Charity as yet undecided.
I decided to back Asthma UK this time round as being asthmatic myself, I'd often used it as an excuse not to exercise in the past. Ironically, excerise is one my triggers so starting to run was pretty hard, but now it actually helps me to control my breathing!
Asthma UK is a charity that supports and advises people with asthma and raises awareness of the condition. It can be a life threatening illness if it's not treated correctly and it can be really hard to express to others what it's like when you're constantly struggling for breath!
Anyway, serious bit over. Please feel free to sponsor me!
