As you know, there’s nothing I like more than a large glass of Sauvignon Blanc and food of any description. This Slimathon is my Kilimajaro for sure, and your pledges have kept me going, against the many temptations posed by life in the City.

I am raising funds for BACKUP, a charity which works with people, many of them very young, impacted by severe spinal injury, to realise their potential despite their injuries. I aim to raise £4000, which will sponsor one place on a residential course.

My Slimathon began on a January 1st, with the aim of losing 20 pounds by April 4th, when I’ll be hosting a quiz for the charity. As at March 25th I’ve lost 23 pounds, and I’m on target to reach 28 pounds (two stone in old money).

Thanks very much for helping; it means a lot to me and the BACKUP charity.

Lots of love, Sue.
