Eight weeks of getting fit has seen over 300 people taking part, nearly a tonne of weight lost between them and almost 561 inches have disappeared off their waistlines.

Not only that, but the British Heart Foundation has benefited by £7000 raised across all of the branches. Immense effort has been put in to fund raising by some branches has this has not gone unnoticed by the BHF and all associated with MKM.

David Kilburn said, “It’s been great for people to realise that there is more to life than eating chips and other foods that put on weight. This campaign has helped everyone at MKM to understand that they can feel fitter and healthier by eating a balanced diet and exercising.”

"Many congratulations to all who have taken part and it is sincerely hoped that this campaign has helped people to focus, get fit and ultimately improve the health of their hearts!"

The final table sees Beverley triumph with a really fabulous health score of nearly +4. But they were chased to the end by Scarborough, Whitby, Stockton and Redcar.

Will we do it next year? Watch this space!
