BIG hearted slimmers are putting their weight behind NSPCC and embarking on a six-week sponsored slimathon to raise money for the charity. Slimmers at Tracy Horton's Slimming World Group in Tavistock are starting the event during January, February and March. Tracy said: 'The more people who take part in the slimathon the more money we can raise for the children. 'Even if someone has a few pounds to lose we'd love them to join in. Every little bit will help. 'In this short time many people will lose a stone and come down a size or even two in clothes.' Anyone who wants to lose weight and play an active part in raising funds can attend Tracy's group on Thursdays for a sponsorship form and a free weigh-in.
