Story

I’m raising money for The Irish Cancer Society though SMILES, Slimming Worlds Charity Foundation ❤️

Cancer, I’m sure, has touched each and everyone of us in some way, either directly or through someone we know. It’s come close to home for me with my Dad Jimmy , thankfully he’s survived many battles over the years and is my inspiration for doing this. His strength during cancer has shown me that you can overcome any challenge in life , you just need two things, belief in yourself but more important SUPPORT 💪

Before joining Slimming World I weighed over 20 stone and thought weightloss was impossible for me. I’d hit rock bottom after being removed from a roller coaster at a theme park with my nieces as I was too big to fit the restraints With their support I’d go on to loose over 9stone and got my life back.

Seriously, those who knew me 9 stone ago would say “Trev wouldn’t run even if you chased him with a knife” , sometimes I can’t believe it either and have to pinch myself that its not a dream, I’m running in the LONDON MARATHON 2024, like what 🤩

Now it’s time to give some of that back, together we can raise much needed funds for those affected by this often cruel disease. 

Thanks for reading my story and anything you can give would be greatly appreciated 🤩
