Story
C.A.A.P support children across Cornwall in have accessable family and fun days out that might other wise be impossible. This year they are planning a trip to disneyland paris for Oct 2019. At present they are offering to provide some assistance to families by reducing the amount as a group booking and then giving each child a £50 donations toward it. I want to boost that donation to assist further reducing the cost. I am going to be getting fitter and losing weight. Currently through Ill health (spinal injury and crohn's) I weigh a whopping 137kg and my aim is to get back down double digits of 99kg that's 38kg loss by June 2019 so I can run a charity 5k inflatable fun run to raise extra funds for C.A.A.P. I have already started eating healthier and I'm joining my local gym. I plan on posting to my Facebook page and vlogging my journey on YouTube if I have spare time with my 4 kids. (links will be posted below as they go live) spare what you can or just pass on a share.
This charity is very dear to my heart. I have 2 autistic children ages 11 and 7 who struggle with every day life and fitting in.
They cannot function to a happy regular life outdoors but C.A.A.P have put on so many activities in the local area that my children and their 2 other siblings can enjoy without fear of judgement or other people not understanding them.
Thanks for your time and sending a kid to see Mickey and Minnie.
Please visit www.caapuk.co.uk for more information on the fantastic work they do and look out for my 5k inflatable run charity page very soon.
Update 11/2018: I'm currently at 128kg but I've been poorly recently and had poorly children at home so the vlogs have needed to be delayed. Rest assured that they will be ready soon. I'll be back to fighting fitness and ready to pump up the jam, kick up a notch and own that exercise and gym.
Thanks

6 years agoOne week ago I was tipping 137 to138kg. Fighting cravings and a chest infection I've persevered through it and my weight is down. 132.8kg last night and I feel empowered. Hopefully we can raise as much as possible for the children of C.A.A.P Www.caapuk.co.uk for more info #FLAB2ABS

I'm just a parent wanting to give children a helping hand to have a happy experience. I have 2 children with autism and I know how hard a simple trip to the supermarket can be. This charity is helping arrange a disabled friendly holiday of a lifetime that so many would never have
