Here at Slimming World, we are very proud to support Cancer Research UK, and over the years our members and Consultants have helped raise £30 million , which is just incredible and shows what can be achieved when we all come together.
Around 1 in 2 people in the UK will be affected by cancer in their lifetime, and survival rates have doubled thanks to research.
But Sadly, many of my family members have been affected by cancer, so this really does hit close to home and makes awareness, fundraising, and early action even more important to me.
This week in groups i wanted to remind members how important it is to know your own body, go to your screenings, and not ignore anything that doesn’t feel right.
And Today I had my first mammogram. I was a extremely nervous, but honestly, from the moment I arrived I was put at ease.
Everything was explained properly, I was talked through it all, and I felt reassured .
The procedure itself was quick and painless, and I was reminded just how important early detection is, because it really can make all the difference.
So if you’ve got an appointment, please don’t put it off. Please do
go.
So Ladies and Gentlemen let’s keep looking after our bodies the best we can.
Because your health really is everything 💛
And as we get ready to up our fitness and prepare for Race for Life, and our big clothes throw we are set to raise even more so lets make this year even bigger and better than last , if you’re a Slimming World member you’ll be able to grab your purple bags in group from your Consultant.
So if you’re having a clear out, this is the perfect time to pass on those clothes that no longer fit you. If you’ve lost weight, don’t hang on to the old versions of you let them go and let them do some good for someone else while raising money for a fantastic cause.
And if you’re a taxpayer, please don’t forget to fill in the Gift Aid section too, because that just helps us raise even more for Cancer Research UK.
It’s a win all round lighter wardrobes, more space, and more money going towards life saving research. 💜
