Fundraising for Helen's Trust
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I'm a Beauty/Holistic Therapist that has recently begun working in Bakewell, Derbyshire and chosen the local charity of Helen's Trust who support people with terminal illness at home.
Due to breaking my ankle 11 months ago I'm not able to raise funds through fun runs or even hobbles yet! And after 3 months being bed-ridden, followed by more months of SLOWLY regaining mobility I have put on excess weight which is why I am doing this sponsered slim.
£20 can fund an hour of cover to give an exhausted carer a break. £50 an over the bed table or other equipment. £200 a stairlift installed and rental for 2 months. £440 a reclining chair...
The care I received while in pain and vulnerable from friends and family was vital to my recovery and I can only hope will be available to me should I require it at the end of my life from such an admirable charity such as Helen's Trust.
Great appreciation to Carla Bent and Dave Westwood of www.cbnutrition.co.uk who are providing me with healthy Herbalife protein shakes, food menus, and exercise tips for the 2 months challenge!
Current weight is: 16 stone 4 lbs.
From 5 June - 7 August 2013 the CHALLENGE is for me to loose 2 stone or 28 pounds!
