Involved extensively in the health and fitness industry for over twenty years, Lucy is acutely aware of the dramatic rise worldwide in childhood obesity and saw a gap in the market for a series of children’s story books aimed at encouraging healthy eating and more exercise.

So-called ‘progress’ has brought with it such a huge choice of delicious (but often unhealthy) things to eat that parents have a constant battle getting children to eat healthy foods. Combined with children spending more time on electronic devices and less on physical activities, it’s not surprising we have a worldwide childhood obesity problem which needs addressing.

HEART UK – The Cholesterol Charity, will benefit from a donation of GBP1.00 per copy of the book sold. “We are really grateful to be working with Lucy on such an exciting project”, says Jules Payne, CEO, HEART UK.

Through promotion in the media, of products and tools to help parents fight the child obesity epidemic, a difference CAN be made.

The book is currently only available online and, if it proves successful, will be made available in paperback to order.
