Welcome to my challenge to raise money for Yorkhill Children's Foundation. http://www.yorkhillchildrensfoundation.org/

Having a young family and recently seeing how the amazing medical team save and better the lives of  young babies and children with illness - i have choosen this charity and target a minimum of £2500.00 to raise prior to my next birthday July 9 2009

Heres how i am going to do it ..........

Challenge 1 - Weightloss

First of all those who know me well, know im in great shape and only need to lose a few pounds - so the first challange is to lose 57lbs yes 4 stone !! I am at slimming world and have the backing of the guys in the football team to assist with my will power (they taunt me 3 times a week !!), so losing this weight should be a doddle !! http://www.realbuzz.com/en-gb/MyStuff/index?pageID=1997&blog=9211

Challenge 2 - Complete 3 10k runs in under 1 hour each

Next Challenge is to succesfully complete (i.e. still breathing) 3 10k's during 2009 in under 1 hour each.

Challenge 3 - West Highland Way - Walk/Run

Finally tackle the West Highland Way by running/walking to achieve the best time finish i can (whilst camping in between. Anyone wanting to join us is welcome.
