Gillian's Downsize for Dementia!
Fundraising for Hargreaves Dementia Trust
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Today is Mum & Dad's 54th Wedding Anniversary so I thought I would start to try to raise some money for the Dementia Support group that they attend. The Hargreaves Dementia Trust is a registered charity that does some tremendous work to help people affected by dementia. The members include carers & patients at every stage of this cruel condition. The members range from young people with a very early diagnosis to carers whose partners have long since passed but the group support all who are affected.
I have decided to challenge myself to do something that I will find very difficult ... lose weight! As you may know dieting does make you fat in the long term due to irreparable damage done to the metabolism so I won't be restricting intake too dramatically. I will be taking three balanced meals a day and increasing my activity for six weeks. I can't train hard anymore due to back/hip/neck problems so I won't drop weight quickly, like you can when you train at high intensity, but I do intend to lose weight steadily and hopefully keep the excess weight (fat) off. You can support on Just Giving or in person if you'd like to help. I've weighed in and taken a photo of the scales!!! I'll do the same at the end of the six weeks and let those of you who have agreed to sponsor me by the amount of weight lost what the difference is. (Weigh in Thursday 27/10/16) If you'd be good enough to sponsor me then the money raised will be used brilliantly by the trust. I have witnessed it's great work first hand.
Thank you
