For many years now (38 years in total) Nigel and I have had a love of Cornwall.  Holidaying in St.Ives each year for the same week in August, along with the rest of the Briggs Family.  Our girls have been brought up holidaying in Cornwall and we now have our Grandson Harvey who is doing the same.  Our love of Cornwall has brought us to this Trek not only to see more of the rugged coast but also to try and make a small difference to a very worthy cause.  I decided in October last year to make a difference in my own life and try to loose some weight, get fit and do something worthwhile.  I joined Slimming World - Middlewich Cheshire joining Sarah Holdcroft's Class at the Wyche Centre - She has offered lots of support and guidance and the girls are all great with a fab facebook page with lots of tips, recipes and help!  Thank you friends!

I sat reading my first Slimming World magazine and it opened on a full page advert for the Alzheimer's Trek from Lizard Point to Lands End - I thought this is for me!  I have to date lost 19lbs and by the time I get on this Trek I hope to be fitter, slimmer and ready for anything.  I know it won't be easy but I am really excited.

Nigel is very familiar with fundraising having completed many half marathons in the last 3 years and raising money for his favourite charities so this year is helping me meet my goal.

Please give geneously and help us to smash our target, thank you from the bottom of our hearts x
