Race For Life - Yes it was!!!

So,

Last Sunday I ran the Race for Life in Stockport. It's the 6th time I've done the event - since I lost my Grandad to Cancer. Since then I've also lost my Auntie Muriel and just last week I lost my Uncle Bill. Given this Mum didn't feel up to running - so I did it. Thinking fo the 3 of them cheering me on helped to get me round the 5k course.

The event is inspirational and full of sad but hopeful stories - and hopefully we raised loads of money. I just want to thank you all who sponsored us - we raised over £200 and we're really pleased with that.

You can still pledge money - head to: www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/lindandchelsea

Thank you in advance.

There are still some events going on if you fancy joing us?

Bolton - 4th July

Manchester Heaton Park - 10th,11th July

Oldham 18th July

This Body Was not Made To Run!!!!!!

THIS BODY WAS NOT MADE TO RUN!

Hi Everyone,

I've just signed up to do the Manchester Midnight Walk. I stress 'walk' as we DO NOT RUN! This body was not made to run!

The event is for St Ann's Hospice which is a charity which means a lot to me. I'm a patron and am trying to do all I can to help.

The 10k walk is in it's 4th year and is taking place on 2 July. We're trying to raise as much cash as we can! I lost my Grandad to cancer 6 years ago and unfortunately he didn't get the greatest care. It wasn't long after that I first went to visit and I expected a dark and dismal place where people went to die - but I was surprised to see it was actually a bright and inspirational place with angels who work so hard to make the life of your loved ones the best it can be right to the end. Nearly half of their patients also go home again once treated in the hospice.

Unfortunately they get so little government funding and so they have to raise £16,000 every day just to keep their doors open. I know there are loads of events every year for charities in Manchester - and I know times are tougher than they've ever been, but we really need your help even more than ever as St Ann's have struggled, like all of us, through this recession. This has really hit their finances.

But this where you can help! The Manchester Midnight Walk is a really great event - it's fun to do and is a huge boost for the hospice (last year this event raised nearly a quarter of a million pounds!). It's just £15 to register and you can join me and thousands of others on the night.

There's plenty of ways to register, either go online at manchestermidnightwalk.org.uk or call 0161 498 3631

Help Manchester Dog's Home!!!

Morning,

Well what a busy week already!

I'm still on the bloody diet - more on that on the Key 103 Breakfast pages - but it's also John Edward at the Apollo on Thursday, the Ladies Lunch for Cash4Kids on Friday - and Manchester Dog's Home have a fun day to raise cash on Sunday 23rd May.

Most of you will know I do as much as I can for Manchester Dog's Home - they are a brilliant charity. Each Christmas I unveil the Buy A Dog A Christmas Dinner Appeal - for all the doggies who have no families. I also told them I'd tell you about their great fun day this weekend - in the hope you'll all go and raise as much money as you can to help them. It's gonna be a great day from 11am to 4pm at Debdale Park on Hyde Road.

It's their 20th Annual Sponsored Dog Walk, you can walk dog's who live at the home from 1pm and there's loads of other stuff going on - like baloon modelling, face painting, a bouncy castle and a rodeo bull so it's a great day out for all the family.

If you're free, please head down and have a look. For more information go to: http://www.dogshome.net/

Help a Homeless Doggy!

Hi Everyone,

I need your help!

I got an email yesterday from a lady called Jenny - desperately needing our help after trying loads of different ways to re-home her dog.

She has a Dalmation called Poppy, who's 7. Jenny got him 18 months ago from the dog's home after being dumped by his previous owner. She loves him to bits!

Problem is, Poppy is a bit scared of other dogs and children (may be due to him previously being ill treated). Jenny doesn't mind this - she takes him out when there's no other dogs around and she has no children. BUT now there's a problem - Jenny has fallen pregnant. And she's now worried Poppy won't take to this well and she's been advised to re home her.

But due to these tendancies and the fact she's 7, nobody wants her.

That's where you come in! Jenny is devastated and doesn't want Poppy to be put to sleep. She would be suited to someone with no kids, who has time to get to know her and somewhere to run around.

Please can you help?

Or do you know of anyone who can? Jenny is 5 months pregnant and time is running out.

If you can email me now at: chelsea@key103.co.uk

Thanks and can't wait to hear from you.

Your Ladies Lunch Needs

Hi Everyone,

Thank you to those of you who have bought tickets to this years Ladies Lunch - it's gonna be an amazing event and we'll hopefully raise loads of cash for charity.

But I need you're help!!!

I'm looking for 4 real women to model on the day in the fashion show.

They will be styled and dressed and strutting their stuff on the catwalk amongst the professional models - and they'll feel like a princess with a prize too.

So I want ladies in their 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s to take part, in any size or shape.

This is where YOU come in!

Are you already coming to the lunch?

Do you have a friend you'd like to nominate to model?

I have to stress if you are coming and already paid for your ticket there is no point in entering as you'll be back stage for alot of the day being pampered. BUT if you have a friend or member of the family who didn't get a ticket - this is a great way for them to get into the lunch, have a lovely day and you lot get to see them as Kate Moss.

If you know someone who'd like to do it - email me with their:

Name

Age

Size

Contact Details

And send them to: chelsea@key103.co.uk

Winners will need to be free one day next week to try the clothes - and all day on Friday May 21st for the lunch.

See you there,

Manchester Midnight Walk

Hi Everyone,


I've just signed up to do the Manchester Midnight Walk. I stress 'walk' as we DO NOT RUN! This body was not made to run!


The event is for St Ann's Hospice which is a charity which means alot to me. I'm a patron of the charity and am trying to do all I can to help.

The 4th walk is taking place on July 2nd this year and we're trying to raise as much cash as we can for a 10k walk. I lost my Grandad to cancer 6 years ago and he unfortunately didn't get the greatest care, it wasn't long after that I first went to visit the hospice in Heald Green. I expected a dark and dismal place where people went to die - but I was surprised to see it was actually a bright and inspirational place with angels who work so hard to make the life of your loved ones - the best it can be right to the end.

Unfortunately they get no government funding and so it costs £16,000 every day just to keep the doors open. We don't have loads of celebs to help and we struggle to get people on board.

I know there are loads of events every year for charities in Manchester - and I know times are tougher than they've ever been, but we really need your help. The Shine event which just took place in the City Centre was great - but it floored us at St Ann's and so I need you're help even more.

It's a great event - which is fun to do and is a real boost for the hospice. It's £15 to register and you can join me and thousands of others on the night.

There's plenty of ways to register, either go online at www.manchestermidnightwalk.org.uk or call 0161 498 3631

Hope to see you there, and email me at chelsea@key103.co.uk if you have any questions or need any more information then get in touch.

Back on the Diet!!!!!

Hi,

Well I'm back on the diet - not that I was ever really off it.

I took up swimming, which is something I used to do all the time as a kid - but it annoys me having to wash and dry my hair all the time so it puts me off going. Anyway I tried but because I didn't see a difference straight away I sort of gave up.

I tried walking Pop. She loves it bless her and she sort of smiles on the way round the park. I actually really enjoy that, now the weathers improved. Hopefully that will keep some of the weight off.

Work's is so busy - thats the problem. If I was bloody Kerry Katona and had all day I'd be the size of a string bean. Anyway I'm back to Diet Chef, this is brilliant!!!!

Here's the info:

You get a hamper with fully prepared, ready made meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner and snacks for those hungry moments. All you need to do is pop them in the microwave and watch the weight fall off.

It's been on tele, and loads of celebs have done it and lost loads of weight. Featured in loads of magazines like Woman, Hello and FHM.

If you fancy doing the diet with me go to: www.dietchef.co.uk

Let me know if you try it by emailing me at chelsea@key103.co.uk

See you soon, Chels x
