LAST CHANCE TO SPONSOR ME - MY PAGE WILL STOP ACCEPTING DONATIONS ON THE 14TH FEBRUARY 2010.  Appropriate day I thought!!

My total weight loss to date is 1 stone 8lbs.

It's been harder than I thought - so much easier when you're younger!!  However, I am pleased and feel so much better, but am going to try to lose a bit more yet, so just because the sponsorship has ended my diet hasn't!

Hi there, thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

My name is Carol and my husband Steve and two children, Leanne 15 and Matt 12, all have Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.  Steve was diagnosed when he was 26 and now at 41 his symptoms have gradually become worse so that he is presently unable to work.  Both the children were genetically tested at birth and unfortunately both carry the genetic disorder.  There is already some thickening in both of their hearts, but thankfully at the moment they have no symptoms.  I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT THIS WAY. 

Please, please support me in my sponsored slim so that I can raise as much as possible for research into this condition to continue to help them, and many others. It is the main cause of sudden death in the under 35s!. 

For all that know me, will also know that I need as much support as possible to lose weight - I've been trying for years!!  So the more raised the more incentive, and the more committed I will be.  You will also know Steve, Leanne and Matt and the more the charity raises, then the more help they will have.  So by sponsoring me is not only helping me to reach my goal, but is helping to provide a much brighter future for Leanne and Matt, and every other affected family.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cardiomyopathy Association gets your money faster and direct and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation

So please sponsor me now!      With many thanks Carol x
