Big-hearted Luke Cooper says he's been overweight all his life and now he's decided to do something about it - and help others at the same time.
He said: "I have set up a campaign to lose weight and get healthy to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. I have been overweight all my life and I feel it's about time I did something about it and what better way to do it than raising money for a fantastic charity?"
He has set up a JustGiving and Facebook page for people to sponsor him and keep track his my progress.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
