O/T An ask... would you sponsor me?

[Colston]

I am chair and a voluntary counsellor for a charity in Bristol that supports people and families with alcohol problems. I was also eight stone overweight on January 1st.

I'm combining the two and getting myself sponsored to lose the eight stone in 2010.

I will also be doing three races over the summer. The first being a 10k in Bristol on 9 May 2010.

If you could sponsor me to help me in my quest to become a thinner, fitter me and to help this fine charity it would be really appreciated. Any amount small or even smaller!

My sponsor page is here...

My blog detailing my progress is here...

I've lost 9 pounds or 3.9 kilos thus far just on target for the total loss required of 112 pounds or 50 kilos.

My thanks to Faceless for giving this thread the go-ahead.

My pal did the caricature for me.

I think you deserve donations just because of the food you are eating! However I'm skint so you'll just have to wait for that, I'll come cheer you on doing the half marathon though. Well, I'll cheer for everyone that runs passed and assume you are one of them.

Good luck, Colston. I hope you achieve your goal & make lots of money for that good cause. You have my best wishes, but (seriously) I've just been made redundant... I have to try to get my family sorted, and it's not going to be easy.
