Having survived colon cancer in 1993 (and all of the surgery and the months of chemotherapy etc) and recently celebrated the 20th anniversary with an inevitable hangover, I decided that it would be a bit silly to die of a heart attack anytime soon.

To avoid this outcome, it has become clear that I really needed to lose about 54 lbs (20 kg plus) in weight over the course of the next few months.  I started on the 2nd March 2013 and so far have shed 39 lbs (by mid August).  So, only another 15 lbs to go!

Whilst I have incentive enough anyway, I thought it would be a nice idea to raise some money for a good cause along the way.  I chose Cancer Research having already benefited personally from their work.

So please dig deep and donate now, otherwise I may have to make up the difference myself.  Perhaps you may consider donation now for the 39 lbs already lost and then a big bonus payment at the end!

Thank you.
