I
HAVE TAKEN UP THE CHALLENGE!!
I have been recently thinking up new ways that we can raise money
for DREAMCATCHERS, and it struck me! so many people participate in
10K runs for charity so why shouldn't I run one for Dreamcatchers!
Then I thought well, rather than paying to enter one I will just
put one on where people can enter for FREE
in return for collecting
sponsorship for Dreamcatchers.
We offer ALL
our community based
services to young people FREE OF
CHARGE, in this
economy it has become increasingly difficult to attract enough
money to keep offering everything we do at no cost to the young
people. So, we have decided to take up the challenge of raising the
money ourselves!!
This 10K is also a
personal challenge for me!!
**This time last year I was 18 stone**
I had no energy and felt permanently
tired and detested the way I looked so I decided to make a few HUGE
changes in my life. The picture above is one of the things that has
motivated me to make the changes. The real motivation came when I
realised I would always dislike my wedding pictures (I am getting
married in July 2010 HOOOORAY!!!!) AND
the second big realisation
was that I wouldn't be able to run around and have fun with my
children as they come along.
This inspired me to set some fantastic positive goals around how
healthy I will be by the time I get married.
I have been working with a superb Health and Fitness Coach
called Matt Lawrance, he completely understands and
supports my values and motivation PLUS
he has the expert knowledge
in fitness and nutrition that I lacked. I have come to believe he
is the Number 1 Fitness
Coach in Manchester.

With Matt's support and guidance I have
been able to lose a substantial amount of weight, significantly
reduce by % body fat and ultimately massively increase my fitness
and energy levels.
To combine my celebration of becoming healthier (and happier) and
the opportunity to raise some funds for Dreamcatchers I have
decided to host a 10K 'fun run' in 2010 (I will confirm dates and
location soon). IF YOU DON'T FEEL YOU
CAN RUN IT YOU CAN WALK - I WILL BE WALKING SOME OF IT!!
I am looking for
people to sponsor me
Contact us to discuss how you would like to get involved!!
office@dreamcatchers.ltd.uk
My
goal is to get at least 30
runners to raise at
least £100
each. I am aiming to raise
at least £1000
personally, this will raise
£4000 to ensure we can continue to offer our community based
services FREE OF CHARGE
to the young people we
serve.
REMEMBER... IF YOU
DON'T FEEL YOU CAN RUN IT YOU CAN WALK - I WILL BE WALKING SOME OF
IT!!
I look forward to your support
Cheers
