Story

This year is my first Mother’s Day without my mum, Linda Myers, sadly we lost her on the 8th August 2022 to the awful disease CJD.

I have thought for some time now what I could do for mum for Mother’s Day in her memory and the one thing that keeps coming back to me is a sponsored slim.

Me and mum were, and always had been conscious of our weight as its something we both struggled with. We went to lots of slimming groups and made lots of friends over the years but mum was always my rock when I tried to lose weight, keeping me on track and she was always fantastic cooking slimming meals or baking low fat treats.

Since mum became ill last year I have really struggled with my weight and to keep on track and the pounds on the scales keep going up, I am so lost without mums support.

The one way I thought I could get back on track is to give myself a sensible weight loss goal of 3st over a year period, and for friends and family to support me by donating to Creutchfelt Jakob Disease, this way I feel like mum is with me along the way.

Any amount no matter how big or small will be appreciated so much.

I will keep everyone up to date on my weight loss along the way. My Sponsored slim will commence on Mother’s Day 19th March 2023 and end on Mother’s Day on 10th March 2024.

Thanks again 🌻
