Sponsored slim

Gayle · 29-12-2005, 13:45

If you've read your Accrington Observer over the last couple of weeks you'll know that I'm about to start a sponsored slim on New Year's Day. I'm raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. I aim to lose between 10lbs and 14lbs.

Cystic Fibrosis is an awful illness - it's literally a life sentence from birth. The average age that a sufferer lives to is now around 31. Just think of that, imagine knowing from the day you were able to talk that you would only live to 31! How many people on this site are older than 31 - you wouldn't be here now if you had Cystic Fibrosis.

They are doing tremendous work to find a cure for this illness so if you want to find out more about it look on this site - http://www.cftrust.org.uk/index.jsp

As for why I'm doing this - a family member has the illness and every second counts for her in the search for a cure.

If you want to sponsor me (even £2 or £3 would be fantastic) you can now do it on line at

Another way of helping - if it's your New Year's resolution to lose a few pounds yourself, why not get sponsored for doing it and donate all the money to CF.

Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It's a great cause. We have a friend whose grandaughter has it, and it's heartbreaking disease.

Good luck.

OK Gayle, succeeded in pulling me heart strings, followed Granny and donated £10 on your link.
Think you look fine now, however, what you are comfortable with.
Don't forget to leave a little fat around the back area for Chris to grab.

They are going head to head in this weeks Observer, with two columns featured.

Fags versus fat.

It's like Blur pitted against Oasis all over again.

Thanks Grannyclaret and Katie.

garinda · 29-12-2005, 18:26

I'll sponsor you a tenner too.

Though if you resort to amputation I want my money back.

Gayle · 29-12-2005, 20:38

Thanks Hun,

Do you reckon an arm is about a stone?

It would be nice if this could be made a sticky so it stays in the Accyweb eye. A worthy cause Gayle and Good Luck with it.

I tried to give out some karma but the only one it would let me give it to was Katie - I have to spread it around a bit more before I give it to you others.

Cheers

That was funny Garinda, made me laugh, although she has a great pair you know so no reductions please that would be cheating too.
