Any
weight lost by BBC Hereford & Worcester staff will be
the result of a healthier regime, not crash dieting, and you
are encouraged to do the same - e.g walking to work, rather
than drive or eating fruit & veg rather than crisps &
sweets

Did
you know that the collective weight of 21 BBC Hereford & Worcester
staff is 1700 kilos, giving an average weight of 12.72 stone per
person?
This
was discovered when we went to the public weighbridge in Malvern
to be weighed en masse.
We're
not just doing it for the hell of it, we're hoping to raise funds
for the BBC Hereford & Worcester Money Marathon appeal.
You
may wonder how we're going to raise money for the Hospices - well
this is how it's going to work.
The
period of the challenge will last from Friday September 10th to
Friday November 5th - when we'll attempt to calculate our collective
weight again.
We've
got sponsorship forms available from the Action Desk and there are
three options:
- Sponsor
the BBC H&W team so much per pound lost or for a fixed amount.
- Get
sponsorship for your own group (from businesses, schools, pubs,
WIs etc) to lose weight collectively or to undertake some fitness
challenge.
- Get
sponsorship as individuals to lose weight or undertake some fitness
challenge.
Any
weight lost by BBC Hereford & Worcester staff will be the result
of a healthier regime, not crash dieting, and you are encouraged
to do the same - e.g walking to work, rather than drive or eating
fruit & veg rather than crisps & sweets.
