Story

Thanks for coming to donate. Here’s my story.

I was an overweight woman and decided to take a plan of action with my life. I took myself to my local Slimming World group and signed up, I started my transformation journey at 18 Stone 4lb in Dec 2016, I’ve pushed myself to most extremes I can mentally and physically do, I’ve cried and I’ve laughed. I’ve had the most fantastic support from my slimming world consultant & group, Slimming World, family and friends. I’ve gone on to loosing nearly 7 stone in weight, I’m so close to target now. During my journey I decided to take up running , I couldn’t walk when I first started but I persisted and it paid off. I ran my first 10k in June and now regularly run 3 times a week. I decided next I wanted to do something totally out my comfort zone...... I decided the marathon. Now I have a place. Yes you read that right. I am now running the London Marathon. But now your thoughts are why I have decided to run for centre point ...... whilst running I would run past train stations and bus stops and I would see young homeless people, it really shed a light into homelessness, something I have always took for granted. I used to think while running there must be help and support out there for them, that’s where I found Centre Point. Centre Point help 16-25 year olds into a safe place to live, give them a health assessment and plan support for their individual mental and physical health needs. Then start them on a path to more independence and a job. When I found this out I wanted to help , the support I was given when loosing weight was incredible and the support Centre Point give is outstanding. I hope by me running the marathon will raise funds and awareness for Centrepoint. You can see my journey on instagram under slimmingworld_mumof1 this show my food, weight loss and training. I hope you can help and donate , thank you so much for reading and showing your support 🙌🏽🙌🏽
