Updated on 14.02.08 (just by sheer fluke Valentines day) doing really well but, nasty 2lbs or whatever that is in kilos, just comes off and then goes back on ! determined to make it happen in the next couple of weeks as don't want to let myself and everyone down !  onwards and downwards.... xxxxxx

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page which should make it all really simple to help if you can however much, either do a set amount or a per pound or per stone, whichever suits. Please dig deep and sponsor me online to lose the 3st that many a chocolate biscuit has created whilst sitting in GOS when Hannah was born, then again 11 months later when it all went so incrediably wrong for her, then at QEII Welwyn while we waited endlessly to find out about 'funding' and then in Tadworth, Children's Trust where Hannah started to make progress with the intensive programme they gave her and all the wonderful cuddles and friends she made and then several more packets of biscuits while we fought 'twice' yes 'twice' due to the incompentence of the Hertfordshire Local Education Authority to keep Hannah in The Hornsey Trust School which has given her back a quality of life we never expected was possible.  This process with the LEA which has not only cost huge amounts of money and emotional trauma for everyone (friends and family) and as important, time which could have been spent with Hannah and the money spent on all things Hannah - but again back to 'Chocolate' Biscuits....  (I am using chocolate biscuits as a collective name for all things of a sweet !! and actually savoury !! nature).

Joining me is Pamie Everett, Hannah's wonderful god-mum who wants to lose 1st in a healthy way too.......AND.... Pauline Jones a special friend of Hannah's as well.... and my Sister who is doing a special thing as well..... anymore.... ???? 

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Hornsey Trust for Children with Cerebral Palsy will receive your money faster 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 - you know all the reasons why Hornsey is so special to Hannah and I - and now Hannah is 3st, I realise quite how much I am carrying around with her and my tummy  !!!!!!!

School will probably use the money towards special kit for Hannah particularly as she is the first key stage II child - and everything to do with communication is so expensive.

Many thanks for your support, Hannah says hi....and thanks too.

Julia Stanger-France (3st and counting down !!) and Pamie (1st and counting down !!)
