My story

 

Hi guys

“My name’s Pete and I’m a lard” – there I’ve said it, mind you, as everyone I share an office with will tell you, I’ve been saying it for years but until now have never mustered enough will power to do anything about it – the lure of office cakes has always proved too strong and as the above photo shows has clearly taken its toll, what I’ve lost in hair I’ve clearly gained in weight!

My solution for loosing weight is to raise money for this very worthy cause in memory of Andy my very dear friend, university flatmate, team mate & groom who sadly died from cancer a few weeks ago.

And here’s the deal if I don’t loose 14 pounds (and return to a pre wedding 12 ½ stone) by the end of February I promise to refund you your donation and pay it myself.

So you can help in two ways either donate some money to this worthy cause or help keep cakes, etc away from me and help keep me on the straight and narrow!

Many thanks

Pete
