Story
In 2018 my daughter Freya is going to Cambodia with Camps International for 4 weeks to support a local community and then trek through the jungle. This is wonderful opportunity for her to do some voluntary work in a remote community, learn new skills, make new friends and have stories and memories to come home with. for more information please take a look at: http://campsinternational.com/product/camp-cambodia-trek-school-expedition/
Camps International encourage the children to raise as much of the £4000 needed for the trip through various fundraising activities.
I thought I would support her in this fundraising by doing something that will be a real challenge for me, and that is to lose 2 stone of weight. This is my initial target and depending on how this goes and how much I raise I may do a further challenge in the second half of this year.
Any and all messages of support are gratefully received and if anyone wishes to make a donation to my challenge that would wonderful.

7 years agoAs this fundraising is going to close in the next few days (while I am on holiday) I thought I would put up a final post. My most recent weigh in put me at 13st 13lbs so lost over 2.5st in total. I have also continued my exercise regime and my plan is to keep the wieght off now. I want to say thank you to everybody who has supported me both morally and financially. With this support I was able to hit my personal targets and also the fundraising target by some margin. I have been humbled by people's kindness and won't forget it. M

7 years agoMorning! Weighed this morning and.. 14st 6lbs so that is 3lbs lost and target actually beaten!! Target was 14st 7lbs.I am genuinely surprised that I have managed to lose 29lbs in 7 weeks. In my mind I was expecting another month or so, but I’m not complaining! I can’t thank all of you enough for the moral and financial support that has helped me cross the winning line. I think that if I had tried to do this on the quiet it definitely would have taken me longer because self-motivation only goes so far.
