WELL done to Bolton’s Mayor Cllr Guy Harkin for his battle to shed the pounds and get fit.
He’s putting himself in the hands of a personal trainer on a strict three-month fitness regime to reduce his weight and BMI (body mass index). He’s fundraising for his chosen charities – Alzheimer’s Society, Bolton Hospice and Bolton Lads and Girls Club – and deserves the support, especially as everyone shows their hospitality wherever they visit by giving them food.
Losing weight and getting yourself fit isn’t easy and he has tough times ahead. But the Mayor will not only raise money for these good causes but do himself the biggest favour by changing his shape and his life.
