My OH is doing a sponsored bike ride to raise money for the British Heart Foundation, a charity close to both our, ah, hearts. I'd consider it a personal favour if you'd all take a moment to read her JustGiving page and then hopefully consider making a donation. If you can't afford to help, even just some kind words would probably go a long way.

I'll keep this simple. I'm fat. A size 20 fat. And I'm going to ride my bike 50 miles from London to Southend to prove fat people can do cool things on their way to being thin again, and in the process keep their heart nice and healthy. My BP is right where a normal sized person should be. Just fine, says my doc. My resting heart rate has dropped 15 bpm since I started exercising. I am pulling my body back.

I'm going to ride a bike, wearing lycra, in public, to prove to every single other fat person who says they can't that they damn well can.

Thanks for reading.

Cougar / Alan.

Done, good luck to Lou and I hope she never finds out about your torrid relationship with Alan.

Not if you paid me. Er, oh.

Thanks again to those who've kindly donated. To the rest of you, have you no heart? (see what I did there? Oh please yourselves)
