20 years ago 6 lovely young ladies all met at Bournmouth Uni.  We graduated together, travelled together, went to each others weddings and generally felt like we'd never been apart whenever we got together.

At the end of last year, six become five, as despite one helluva battle the wonderful Erika Donaghey (nee Jaggers) lost her fight against cancer.

I will never be 20 again, but would like to weigh what I did back then.  So in memory of Erika I am aiming to lose 2 stone by end of May.  As of today 24lbs down, so just 4 to go.

Please sponsor me to get skinny (ish) again.  Any money raised will be donated to The Eve Appeal, which if she is looking down on me, my zero point soup, salad and weight watchers delights, I think our Erika would be proud to know it is in memory of her.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please donate now, that pound or two you put into the pot must just help someone some day not go through the same terrible time.  I'll let you know when I get skinny!!!
