So for everyone who knows me I like a drink, I like my food and really take my health for granted which has been a bit selfish I suppose.  Like most people I have tried all sorts of ways to lose weight but then just given up because there was no real cause or never saw the final goals.  Well when the wife said she had signed me up to this event I couldn't have thought of a better way to finally get to the goal I've always wanted and at the same time help the wonderful cause that has been part of my life for 21 years.  The wife has worked for this hospice for all this time and the thought and endless work that all her colleagues do 24/7 to help families across Cheshire in that diffult time is just amazing.

So to everyone I know, please spare a little or as much as you can, these 10 weeks are going to be hell for me, I know this isn't going to be an easy ride and I apologise to all now. But this will not only help me be a skinny mini but a healthier dad and husband to my family AND MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL do my bit and your bit by helping this wonderful hospice...

St Luke's Hospice is the Hospice for Mid and South Cheshire. We totally rely on our community to help us raise the £9,000 we need each and every day to continue to support our patients and their families at difficult times. Without your support we would not exist....
