Gooldy's 2010 weight loss challenge...

Not content with regular visits to the gym and a few less Starbucks/beers to shed the pounds (42 of them in total!!), I have decided to sign up for the Marathon (again!). Last time, my training schedule was a little improvised and it transpired that it is impossible to run the marathon when overweight and without going for a few prior jogs... this time, I am going to train properly, lose some weight and, most importantly, raise some money for a phenomenal charity - Make a Wish. 

Make-a-Wish grants magical wishes to children and young people fighting life-threatening illnesses and raise the funds necessary to grant those wishes. Unbelievably, there are 20,000 children living in the UK with a life-threatening illness and every one of these children deserves to experience the magic of a Make-A-Wish wish. A wish can transform a child’s life and in 2009, around 1,000 children will turn to them to have their special wish granted. In 2009, Make-A-Wish needed to raise £5 million to continue granting these magical wishesMake-A-Wish

Any support you are able to offer will be greatly appreciated - thank you.
