Ian Crook - Lose 21 lb Challenge

Ian Crook - Lose 21 lb Challenge

To support Royal Mails Great Big Fundraising Challenge for British Heart Foundation, Ian Crook (Change Deployment Manager North West Region) is looking for sponsors to help maintain motivation to lose 21 lbs (1 & a half stone/ 10kg) in 2 months & raise £250 for BHF.

Over 6 years on from being a regular Postie on the Street, I have never replaced the daily exercise and natural weight control that a full day's posting gave me.

I'm due my Nuffield 360 Health review next month & my Pre-Assessment BMI tells me that I'm 

"Under Height for my Weight"!! 

Joking aside, their advice is to lose 3 Stone, publicly taking on this challenge with the support of Colleagues & Friends will give me the motivation to succeed, where Will Power alone has been lacking!

During September, Sarah Garcia Reyes is joining me to lose the last 1 Stone of her own target.

A little background to Royal Mails Charity partnership with BHF

From 1st July until the end of September, teams across Royal Mail and Parcelforce are challenged to compete and raise vital funds for our national charity partner British Heart Foundation.   If we each raise at least £2 per person, BHF will receive over £250,000, turbo-charging its mission to protect heart health and save lives in our communities.   This is a special opportunity for us to come together and make positive change in the communities we serve. If we hit this target, BHF will be able to:   Train thousands of young people in CPR Equip communities with lifesaving defibrillators Provide help and hope to vulnerable patients and families across the UK
