My Mickey in Portugal

Hi my name is Paul, and most will know that we are foster carers. Just over 18 months ago, we had the pleasure of taking Mickey into our family home. He was 5 years of age and the most delightful boy anyone could ever meet.

Whilst in our care it was agreed for the best, that he should go and live with his dad in Portugal. This recently went ahead. Whilst Mickey speaks a little Portuguese, he’s very far behind the other children and I’m hoping to raise money for extra tuition to help Mickey settle into his new country. So I’ve decided to go on a health plan to lose weight and by doing so help my little buddy in Portugal. My aim is to lose 4 stone in weight by Christmas.

So I’m looking for donations towards me losing 4 stone and give the money raised to Mickey for Christmas! I needed a good excuse to lose weight and this little boy will be worth all the blood and sweat it will take to meet this extreme goal.
