What I'm doing:

A sponsered slim. It's a year long project, starting today 19th March

2011. Don't worry I have enough to lose to last the whole year. :-/

Well, I've been trying to lose weight for ages, and have managed a littlebit. I thought I needed a reason to make me not give up. I thought aboutall the things that are important to me, my boys, my family.
I couldn't choose just one charity, so I've set up 5 different pages.

All of the links are below.

I will be giving a monthly update (Eek!) on my progress.  This is no easy task, any tips, encouragement, support, gin(it's only 60 calories), will be greatly recieved.

I have a sponser who is matching my weight loss pound for pound, I'm not asking you to do this, just give what you can, and if you can't afford it at the moment don't worry there is a whole year. :-)

Thank you,
Nic

My Charities:

Headway: As you proberbly know my Dad had an accident when I was 12 and sufferd a major Brain injury.
He was never quite himself again.
I want to help the people who helped him. He lived in a home in Birmingham for some years after his accident, and sadly died in 1999. He didn't know who we were but that didn't stop us loving him.  There was a lot of laughs in the home, and Dad had a quality of life that made it worthwhile.

Alzheimer's Society: This is for Jenny, my Mother in law, and my boy's Nonna.  She has alzheimers and unfortunatly got it very young.  They will never know what a fantastic woman she is. So caring, strong, and correct, but overall loving.  I'd like others to know their Grandma's/Nonna's/Mum's/Mother in law's.  Because they do know best!

Cancer Research UK: This one is for my Auntie Eun, She had Breast Cancer and survived but went on to get Bone Cancer.  It's 20 years since ago she died, and sad that she never got to meet my boys. She would have loved them to bits. She liked a bit of spirit.  She never married and was a fantastic Auntie, who used to play Monopoly marathons with me until the early hours of the morning, never letting me win, ruthless in her game tactics.

Comic Relief: I've done some really daft things in the past for Comic Relief, but I don't think anything tops dressing as a red nose and running a mile through Hinckley town centre,  When I was 15! So embarassing but I did manage to raise £500.
