Story

I'm challenging myself to a DECHOX and giving up chocolate for March to raise money for lifesaving heart research.

Right... So as most of you may have noticed I was born with a severe condition called chocoholicism... This means that I am addicted to chocolate, I eat it when I am happy, I eat it when I am sad, I eat it all the time... This is potentially one of the reasons I am on the chubbier side of life.. So... The British Heart Foundation are running a campaign called DECHOX... Basically I have to give up chocolate for the whole of March... Some may think this is easy... but it means ALL forms of chocolate, chocolate cake, hot chocolate, coco pops, chocolate milk, mocha coffees, chocolate ice cream, chocolate body paint, chocolate sauce, chocolate mousse, chocolate biscuits, and chocolate brownies... I am planning on going one step further than the month of march and doing this for lent... so 40 whole days and 40 whole nights from Wednesday 18th February - Thursday April 2nd.... 

Most people choose to do the Great North Run or Climb Kilimanjaro.... Personally... I think this is a much bigger Challenge!!

Please support me and our club and donate to this fabulous cause!!
