  It is a grand gesture you are making! I'm still imbibing and eating candy but I could invite you over for dinner if you were just round the corner. I made an Indian veggie dish with some brown rice. No sugar. Has dairy (cream & paneer) but vegetarian.
  Long post but please read ❤️ I'm just over six months into my current fundraising challenge a year of no added sugar and no booze. Anytime I cheat it's a £20 penalty into the fundraising pot which I've happily paid, usually when eating out as it's a very difficult request. This year's challenge is so much harder than last year's CrossFit fundraiser. It's so much work having to check every label and ultimately make just about everything from scratch. Sugar is everywhere and in everything. At times I'm finding it downright frustrating, but I'm a stubborn person and more importantly I believe that anything I can do help take another step towards helping finding a cure for Cowden syndrome not just for daughter but for all sufferers is worth it. Let's be honest the annoyance I'm facing is laughable in the face of trials during the lifetime of a Cowdens sufferer, constant checks, cancer that can occur anywhere, benign tumours anywhere, major preventative surgeries. Can you imagine what it's like at 15 to be planning your double mastectomy? That's my daughters reality. Please, share this post and if you can donate a few quid. Any amount helps.
