This February I'm challenging myself to a Dechox! Along with thousands of others across the UK, I'm giving up chocolate for a month to raise funds for the BHF's life saving research into cures and treatments for heart and circulatory diseases. That means for 28 days I'll be saying 'NO' to cocoa - from the chocolate sprinkles on my morning cappuccino, to sneaking a 3pm chocolate bar and, to all choccie desserts.

I won't be able to stay away from my favourite sweet treats without your help. Please donate what you can towards my choc-free efforts. Together we can protect the people we love from heart and circulatory diseases. Our parents, brothers, sisters, children, grandparents and closest friends.
