My good friends, Greg & Mary, are raising money to get their daughter, Abbie, a prosthetic ear. Abbie was born with 2 birth defects- an ear deformity (Microtia/Atresia) and an underdeveloped jaw (Hemifacial Microsomia). One of the ways Mary is raising money is by running a marathon in Florida this month, and I wanted to see how I could help. Having just completed a slim-a-thon at work for our company’s charities, now I’d like to do another one for a cause I feel deeply about. I’m hoping to lose between 5-15 lbs by the end the 6 weeks, so you can either sponsor me per pound, or pledge a flat fee. Just post here below or message me privately what you’d like to pledge/ sponsor, and I’ll add your name to my pledge sheet, and at the end of the 6 weeks, I’ll let you know how much I lost. Or you can donate directly from this site via Paypal.

But why just limit the fun to myself? Why not get my friends involved? Are you already losing weight? Do any of you want to shed a couple pounds before the holidays? Been looking for that kick in the butt to get you motivated? Here’s your chance. My Assist Abbie slim-a-thon is open to anyone who wants to join in on the fun. Just send me an email (tatgirldc@yahoo.ca), and I’ll send you the pledge form, and you can go get your own sponsors. Can’t commit to 6 weeks? You can do it for less, its up to you. We can use the forum to support each other along the way, praise our losses, give low-fat cooking tips & recipes, etc… And in the end, everyone’s a winner.
