A GRANDMOTHER held an Alice in Wonderland themed party to celebrate raising money for charity by losing weight.

Pat Ellis hosted the tea party at her home in Pinewood Place, Dartford, at the end of last month after losing three stone in 10 months and gaining £1,216 in sponsorship in the process.

The 56-year-old grandmother of two added £381 to the total through donations from family and friends at the party, and she has given all the money to charity Cancer Research UK.

Mrs Ellis dropped from 12st 12lbs to 9st 12lbs and said: “I lost the weight through exercise and healthy eating. My husband and two children are pleased because I am much healthier now.”
