WOMAN TAKING PART IN CITY 10K FOLLOWING DRAMATIC WEIGHT LOSS
A MIDLAND mum who was once so overweight she couldn’t even fit her young son on her lap is getting ready to take part in the AJ Bell Great Birmingham Run 10k after an astonishing transformation.
Cat Byrne will be cheered on by five-year-old son Orson, who she credits with inspiring her to lose 11.5 stone, when she takes part in the city’s biggest celebration of running on Sunday, May 3.
