Two and half years ago my darling Mum was diagnosed with stage four Cancer, she fought a long and painful battle and unfortunately lost her fight in April this year. My Father cared for my Mum at home, so that she didn't have to go into a hospice, but this became increasingly difficult in the later stages and intervention was given by Katherine House and Macmillan in the form of overnight sits and general advice and comfort. I also have received bereavement counselling from a lady named Shani, who is just amazing at what she does. Without support from the public in the form of donations and fundraisers, Katherine House are unable to help people like our Family. My Mum always wanted me to lose weight and give up smoking, I have managed to give up smoking, but struggle with my weight loss due to motivation and my depression. I wanted to do something to help a worthy cause and to lose weight, so my aim is to lose 2 stone or more in 12 weeks starting from the 1st January. If you have a few spare pounds i would be very grateful if you could help me on my weight loss journey by motivating me to help such a wonderful cause. I will keep the page updated with my progress weekly. Many thanks Katie Josephs.
