DECHOX!

Any fellow Dechoxers out there?
If you don't know what this means - it's a fundraising event where people give up chocolate for the whole of March! That means no chocolate cakes, biscuits, donuts...
This will be hard as I am certainly a chocoholic
It's in aid of the British Heart Foundation and this is a snippet of what they state on their website: (http://dechox.bhf.org.uk/about-dechox/)
"The challenge! If you’ve ever found yourself sneaking a cheeky chocolate bar after the gym or digging into your desk drawer for an afternoon cupcake, then now’s the time to test your willpower, have fun and feel good in the process. "
"One in four of the UK population is lost to heart and circulatory disease every year and there are currently seven million people in the UK living with the disease. By becoming a heroic Dechoxer you’ll be joining the fight for every heartbeat, helping the BHF continue its lifesaving work."
I'm also doing this because my dad suffers from heart disease, so this is very close to home.
You can donate any money to the charity - as well as support me - using this link HERE
I also encourage all of you (I think this may only apply to people living in Britain?) to take part! Of course, you can still do the challenge in any other country...GIVE UP CHOCOLATE FOR A MONTH!
And if chocolate isn't your weakness...give up your weakness for the whole of March.
Thank you!
