Earlier this year Doru's Slimming Group on Facebook was created so that friends could support each other as they collectively lost weight, improved their eating habits and increased the amount of exercise they take. They also took part in Doru's Challenge and raised money for MacMillan Cancer Support raising £855.

It is now time for the next challenge.

Barbara now challeges the members if Doru's Slimming Club members and her Facebook friends to do something they have always wanted to do but for one reason or another have never been able to do it. As part of the fundraising Barbara has set a challenge to Doru! Doru has always said when he loses enough weight he will ride a horse. Therefore the challenge will be complete when Doru rides a horse. Other members of the Slimming Club are also invited to do something they have never done before. Sarah has alreadystarted Burlesque lessons, Val has joined a gym and Barbara will start going to the swimming pool.

I invite all friends to support this challenge by donating to MIND the Mental Health Charity.
