A Carrickfergus woman has been announced as one of 12 finalists for homegrown holistic weight loss and wellness company, Unislim’s inaugural Inspire Awards.
Linda Purvis is one of three finalists shortlisted for the WOW Award category for their unique stories and transformations.
The category seeks to recognise a personal accomplishment unrelated to weight loss.
Mother-of-two, Linda, was shortlisted for her impressive efforts to improve her mental and physical wellbeing, since joining Unislim.
Other categories include the Most Inspiring Transformation award, which celebrates a member’s extraordinary transformation, and the Health Hero Award, which pays tribute to a member who has overcome health challenges during their journey with Unislim.
The Community Spirit Award recognises individuals who have helped to support and motivate other members.
Fiona Gratzer, CEO of Unislim, said: “We’re thrilled to announce the twelve finalists who’ve made it to our inaugural Inspire Awards and to celebrate their life-changing transformations.
“To each of our standout finalists and thousands of members across Northern Ireland, we extend our warmest wishes for success. We look forward to unveiling our award winners on October 4th!”
Finalist, Linda, added: “I’m honoured to have been shortlisted for the WOW Award at Unislim’s first ever Inspire Awards.
“Prior to joining Unislim, I had been suffering with health problems including the knock-on effect of an eight-year misdiagnosis.
“Since becoming part of the Unislim community, my blood pressure has lowered, my sleep quality has improved, and I am able to walk longer distances each week!
“I have the confidence now to really put myself out there and wish all of my fellow finalists the very best of luck for the awards ceremony.”
The awards ceremony, where the winners of the four categories will be unveiled, will be held at The Merchant Hotel, Belfast, on 4 October.
Unislim offers weekly classes across Northern Ireland, to support, motivate and inspire members to reach their happy weight.
