Whilst we can appreciate the incredibly worthwhile cause that you’re working towards, we will be continuing to focus our messages on Slimming World. <br /><br /> <br /><br />Best wishes for your fund-raising effort, <br /><br /> <br /><br />Nicola<br /><br />Slimming World Website Team <br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />From: bethbarlow@bethbarlow.com [mailto:bethbarlow@bethbarlow.com] <br />Sent: 26 April 2010 13:42<br />To: Slimming World<br />Subject: Starvation diet <br /><br />Dear Slimming World,<br /><br /> <br /><br />I am an artist currently taking part in an art/life project looking at the inequalities of diet around the world including the UK. I've done this by resisting food I don't truly need and donating this money to a charity called Practical Action. So far I've dropped 2 dress sizes and given £156.93 to the charity. I find that the motivation of giving to others allows me to refocus my efforts to loose weight more effectively. <br /><br /> <br /><br />I would love to add a blog to your site to present this way of loosing weight and shifting the money saved to others. Also, as I change my relationship to food I'm having to resist less and money going to the charity through my own personal efforts has gone down some. With this in mind I'm looking for new people to join the challenge, join the blog as followers and start their own starvation diet effort. My own blog notes my progress, ups, down, thoughts, learning's and experiences and can be found here:<br /><br />http://starvationdiet09.blogspot.com/<br /><br />My charity giving page can be found here:<br /><br /> <br /><br />http://www.justgiving.com/Beth-Barlow<br /><br />And details of the charity I have chosen which does not have to be the charity whom others involved support. <br /><br /> <br /><br />http://practicalaction.org/<br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> I see that your charity is supporting NSPCC and I found a recent report which from a sample of 75,000 uk children found 3.3% to be malnourished. So your charity of choice could very easily be the nspcc.<br /><br /> <br /><br />I think there are several links between what I aim to do and your aims as an organisation. If you want to go through any of the above or discuss possibilities please ring or e mail me or forward this e mail as you see fit. <br /><br /> <br /><br />Kind Regards, <br /><br /> <br /><br />Beth Barlow<br /><br />07828148123<br /><br />www.bethbarlow.comBeth Barlowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15676514223983017536noreply@blogger.com
