Danilo's dropping the pounds

. . . And raising them too.

Danilo - the scales don't lie

Danilo started his epic challenge back in November, and even though the Christmas period has come and gone with all it's excesses he has managed to drop over 10kg to 128kg. Danilo is aiming to drop to 100kg and is taking on this challenge in order to raise money for the Villa Maria school in Peru. The school gives local children living in one of South America's largest shanty towns the opportunity to get a pre - and primary school education which would otherwise be unavailable to them. Danilo is hoping to raise an epic £15,000 to help double the size of the school from 100 to 200 kids.

To drop the pounds he has been on a strict diet involving a lot of lettuce, and a strong intervention program by his friend Lucio has seen any "inappropriate" food disappear from his plate before he's had the opportunity to get excited about eating it. Support him now by dropping some pounds into his online pot.
