Dream-A-Weigh Weightloss Challenge 2008
Lose lbs, raise £££s!
Our Chairman Jeff Merrett MBE and Patron Sir John Evans will lead a group of volunteers
on a 2008 weight loss challenge, beginning in January 2008.
What started out as two people with a personal chalenge grew into a team of 20,
then 50, then 80, and now stands at over 100 - An incredible feat!
Each participant must raise at least £100 in sponsorship, and lose a minimum of 10% of their body weight - as measured on Tuesday 8th January 2008. The weigh-out will be held on Friday 6th June 2008.
The group includes five members of the Dream-A-Way committee, and several people with disabilities.
In addition, Jan Young of the Bradleys Buckfastleigh branch will be taking up the challenge.
Dream-A-Way has teamed up with several leisure centres who have kindly agreed to support this challenge by providing gym memberships and training plans to the participants for the length of the challenge.
We would like to thank the following for their support:
The Riverside Leisure Centre
Woodbury Park
The Cranford Sports Club Exmouth
Fitness First Exeter
Exeter Arena Athletics Centre
Clifton Hill Sports Centre
Wonford Sports Centre
Pyramids Swimming Leisure Centre
Info For Entrants:
There will be two weigh-ins, the first at 12:00 on Tuesday 8th January 2008 at the Riverside Leisure Centre in Exeter, followed by a second session at 7:00pm for those unable to attend during the day.
Anyone who wishes to keep a diary of their progress or provide photos for the website can email our webmaster.
