Thanks for taking the time to visit my page.

Gaining a Cabinet portfolio, while a huge privilege, also has a down side. Snatched sandwiches, crisps, chocolate bars and cake between meetings have taken their toll and I have to admit to a sizeable weight challenge......... I'm fat!

Over the next few months I'm hoping to shed at least three stones and thought that using the challenge to raise money for a local cause might help me and them at the same time. 

My chosen charity is the SAFE Foundation, an amazing organisation that has been through a very difficult time recently. Follow their link to find out more and I'm sure you will understand why I've chosen them. A sizeable donation will give Hannah and the team support and encouragement as they take the organisation forward. http://www.thesafefoundation.co.uk/

So please dig deep and if I'm successful we'll all be seeing a lot less of me in future.

Will be posting regular updates following weigh-ins but promise no photos in lycra. I might even run a bit!
