Rise Up & Keep Fighting

My story starts while being on Facebook one day I saw that an actor (Jared Padalecki) from the most awesome show ever (Supernatural) Started a fundraising campaign for a charity called To Write Love On Her Arms.  He called his campaign "Always Keep Fighting" (yes I borrowed heavily lol) and it sparked in me the desire to do something myself.

After suffering for the majority of my life from depression and anxiety/panic attacks I decided I wanted to do my bit for charity and have chosen to raise money for a cause that does great
work that is close to my own heart.

A number of years ago I managed to lose just over 5 stone (70 lbs) and during a relapse of my mental health issues compounded with quitting smoking I unfortunately gained all of that plus more back on.

After a number of failed attempts to diet I have finally decided to go public with my weight loss journey and thought it was also a perfect opportunity to help raise funds for this much needed
charity:

TOPS 

In 2011 Belfast Hospital School
established the TOPS Project
(Time Out for Positive Steps), an
education centre for post-primary
pupils with ABSR (Anxiety Based
School Refusal). Their staff of 16 full
time teachers and classroom assistant provide teaching in a range of subjects from pre-school to post 16, including A level.  They are an examination centre offering a full range of accredited
courses.

Thanks for reading and please please give generously (Remember that
every Wicked Zinger Meal I dont eat
costs roughly £6.00 lol).
