Raising money in aid of The Azaylia Foundation
Hi,
My name is Louise and I am raising money in aid of The Azaylia Foundation.
Childhood cancer is the number one killer of children in the UK, yet it receives less
than 3% of cancer research funding.
This is a systemic issue that has stifled the availability of new talent, research and
training dedicated to childhood cancer. It has led to survival rates that haven’t
improved since the 1970s, to the constantly late diagnosis of children, to a lack of
gentle treatments developed specifically for them, and to the devastating physical and emotional damage resulting from having to take treatments that were developed for adults (when available via the NHS), or otherwise forcing families to raise ridiculously high figures to seek treatment abroad.
This is why I am setting myself a challenge to lose 2 stone by 1st December 2023. Anyone who knows me well will know I have tried every diet going and haven’t been able to lose even 1 stone for a number of years due to my mindset, so this will be an incredibly difficult challenge for me but one I am determined to do for such a worthwhile cause.
So if you have a few extra pound in your pocket over the next few months, please feel free to sponsor me…….lets exchange lbs for £’s (see what I did there lol)
I will be following the 1:1 diet with the support of my consultant Maria Simpson. Maria will do my first weigh in on Friday 1st September and I’ll start the plan on Saturday 2nd Sept. Maria will then weigh me weekly and I’ll share the results each week with you all so you can see how I am doing.
There’s bound to be a few hurdles to overcome, celebrating my 40th Birthday in October will be one, but with your support and sponsorship I am sure I can achieve the goal set out!
Thank you very much for your support. It means the world to me
