Update on Susan’s slimming challenge – 17 pounds lost so far!
Susan Stevenson, has taken on a challenge in aid of the Respite Care Service at the Charlotte Straker Project, to lose 2.5 stone in six months.
Susan is fundraising in memory of her mum Marian Moon who was cared in Charlotte Straker House and used their Respite Care service.
Susan told us that “I am delighted to fundraise for the Charlotte Straker Project Respite Care Bed Service, as I’d like to ‘give something back’ for all the care my lovely mam had from the charity. It gave my family peace of mind knowing that she was in good hands. Since starting my slimming challenge I’ve already lost 17 pounds which I’m really pleased with. The challenge is also a way to give me the support and encouragement to get my weight and health back on track! All donations, big or small are gratefully received and I’ll keep you updated with how I’m getting on.”
Susan’s target fundraising amount is £1,000 and she has already raised £750 with donations from friends and supporters.
Berenice Groves, Chair of the Trustees added “We are so grateful to Susan for deciding to fundraise for our charity and we’re very impressed with her progress so far! Our Respite Care Service needs to raise £30,000 to keep the bed open for the next twelve months and we are therefore very appreciative of all fundraising efforts from our supporters. We’ve been cheering Susan on from the sidelines and we can’t wait to see her future progress photos. We’re hoping that people will donate to help our charity and also to give Susan support and encouragement in her challenge.”
