Pounds 4 Greenfingers update from Trevor Pfeiffer
 

    

GTN's Trevor Pfeiffer is within reach of making his weight loss target of 14:04 by Garden Re-Leaf Day on March 18th and raise money for Greenfingers, but after another day of driving hundreds of miles for meetings it's going to be close.

"Greenfingers Garden Re-Leaf Day takes place on Friday 18th March 2016 - and I set myself a target to loose 1 stone between the GCA Conference and Garden Re-Leaf Day and raise money for Greenfingers by making it a sponosred slim.

"This weekend and into this week I've managed another 2 fast days and done plenty of dog walking whilst on business in Scotland which has taken my weight down to 14:06, so I only have a further 2 pounds to lose by Friday when I am the support team for the Garden Re-Leaf Day sponsored walk.  I may end up doing part of the route if all the other walkers are well to help with those few extra ounces off.

"Immediately after conference I went down with a bout of man flu, so I was only able to get the diet up and running on Wednesday 3rd February.  My start weight was registered as 15 stone 4 pounds.

"On that plan I can eat normally on non-fast days but only a maximum of 600 calories on fast days.  So far today I've managed on just 2 sticks of celery!  

"Your donation to Greenfingers via https://www.justgiving.com/Trevor-Pfeiffer will give me all the extra motivation I need to make sure I get there.

"I'll keep you all updated with my progress in GTN Xtra.  Thank you to all the people who have already sponsored me.  I'm looking forward to raising more money for Greenfingers when I reach the target from all the kind people who've also said they would support me."

Next year I wonder how many pounds of lost weight can the UK gardening industry convert into £'s cash for Greenfingers by Garden Re-Leaf Day?

Garden Re-Leaf 2016 has already attracted eight top industry figures who will be staging 24 hour Plant-athons in garden centres beginning  their Plant-athons on Thursday 17th and finishing on Friday the 18th.  Poplars, Adrian Hall and Sunshine Garden Centres have all recently confirmed they will put on Garden Re-Leaf events in store.
