Member's of Jeff's Slimming World group wanted to join in the fun and raise much needed funds for Cancer Research UK by entering the Race for Life in Walsall on 11 May. Those members who couldn't run the Race for Life sponsored the team and raised over £1,200 for the charity.
Jeff, the Slimming World consultant says: "I am amazed at people's generosity, it was a great event and we raised some cash for Cancer Reserach UK too".
Money raised through Race for Life events helps fund Cancer Research UK's world-class research in to over 200 types of cancer including breast, bowel, prostate, lung, testicular, brain, Leukemia and children's cancers.
Jeff adds "Slimming World's Body Magic physical activity programme is simple, clear and easy to follow and can fit it into busy lifestyles. Coupled with our Food Optimising plan and IMAGE Therapy can support members to lose weight, and keep that weight off for good."
Being overweight doesn't mean that someone will definitely develop cancer. But being overweight makes it more likely that someone will develop it, than if they are a healthy weight. A person's exact risk will depend on lots of factors, including things they can't change such as age and genetics.
Maintaining a healthy weight and staying active can improve people's health and help reduce the risk of 13 types of cancer.
Members of the Slimming World group say they enjoy eating healthily, and gradulally introducing some activity in their lives.
Jeff runs his Slimming World group at Lea Hall Social Club in Rugeley on Tuesdays at 3.30pm, 5.30pm and 7.30pm and everyone is welcome to come along and find out how to lose weight without ever going hungry. To find out more visit the Slimming World website.
