What a wonderful weekend of fund-raising was carried out by numerous Rosemary Conley members, franchisees and staff. One of our magazine slimmers, Alyson Knowles, successfully completed her 10-Marathons-in-10-days Challenge and has raised over £6,100 for the Brathay Hall Trust. After shedding over 3 stone at her local Rosemary Conley Diet and Fitness Club, Alyson, a former yo-yo dieter – was able to take part in running marathons again. To progress to running 10 in 10 days is a remarkable achievement and one she could not even have contemplated when she was overweight. Very well done Alyson, I am delighted for you!
After shedding ten stone, our Slimmer of the Year, Gillian Butcher, along with many other Rosemary Conley franchisees and members, has also been busy fundraising this weekend when she took to the streets of London at midnight on Saturday to take part in the Playtex Moon Walk. Well done to them all for completing the 26-mile circuit. Gill succeeded in raising £1,500 for Walk the Walk, a charity raising funds for vital breast cancer causes.A team of Rosemary Conley staff did a wonderful job of helping to raise funds for the Anthony
Nolan Trust, the charity which provides bone marrow transplants for people with leukaemia. Dragon boat racing has become a popular, addictive and exhilarating team event where the drummer beats out a rhythm for the paddlers to race the 30ft Hong Kong style dragon boats. Altogether the event in Stratford Upon Avon raised £24,000 for the charity. After being turned down as a bone marrow donor for being too fat, despite being the nearest match for a patient, after losing almost 7 stone, one of our regional Slimmers of the Year, Neil Davis, has now put himself back on the bone marrow donor register in the hope that his weight loss will mean he can save a life.
