Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Posted June 6, 2006 Hey All, Sorry about the politically incorrect title to this message just wanted to grab your attention as them marketing types would say... I have an idea! oh, oh I hear you mutter... Well, let me start at the begining... Some time ago I promised TA (treating Autism) that I would do a slim-a-thon for them... (You can view my fat before pic from long ago on the TA website at www.treatingautism.com . Well being the unorganised person that I am, I am just about to start again and I wondered if anyone on the list would like to join me and help raise money for Treating Autism? In case you dont know, TA are organising a mammoth conference in Feb next year with THE best speakers form the world of bio-med, this of course costs lotsa money. Many of the speakers dont charge any fee but it can cost £2000-£3000 for some of the best speakers plus their flights and accomodation. Its a huge undertaking for a bunch of mums like us (and dads!). Parent Power Rules OK!! So my idea was this. You decide to lose any weight between 1 and 3 stone between now and Xmas, Half a stone a month is considered a sensible plan. I am going to follow the Weight Watchers No Count Plan, which is basically a list of foods you can eat freely from, not rocket science just sensible eating. Each week we will have a weigh in costing £1, the proceeds will go directly to TA. You will also get sponsors from friends, family, work mates, neighbours etc. If 50 of us do this and get £100 sponsorship and pay your fees for the 25-26 weeks, not only will you be between 1 and 3 stone lighter and feel fab. We will also have raised £6,500 AT THE VERY LEAST for Treating Autism. Now I am going to do this, if anybody wants to join me then email me offlist and we will just see how it goes. I am confident we can really make a difference to their funds and lets face it, it benefits us cos hopefully we will all go and enjoy the conference hugely!! So, more details to follow for all interested parties. With Lots of Love and Flowers Caroline Traa, Aberdeenshire xx Quote
