My Story
I’m 61, until the beginning of this year enormously overweight, in addition to that, when I was 39 I had a heart attack, and have periodically had yet more stents fitted in my heart, the latest was a couple of years ago. For many years I've struggled with my weight and this consequently has had a terrible effect on my health. At the beginning of this year I knew I had to do something or I was in serious trouble. Since 1st January this year I've taken off, so far, in excess of 7 stone using a combination of a strict calorie controlled diet, walking and now running. The differences in my health are needless to say remarkable, my medication has been dramatically reduced and I haven't had to use the dreaded GTN spray since February (previously if I walked about 400 metres I needed it). Why a cancer charity, and not a heart one - simply put, two people who are close to me have recently (fingers crossed) recovered from the scrouge that is cancer, whereas a few years ago they would have probabaly died from it. If by helping myself getting fitter I can actually help beat this horrible disease - then let's GO FOR IT! PLEASE DONATE to my page today and help bring forward the day when all cancers are cured.
