Tips on how to live a healthier lifestyle will be on offer at a fundraising event in support of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway’s “Bridge & Wheels” Appeal.

The event, to be held on Tuesday, 17 November 2009 at the Memorial Hall, Pickering, starting at 6.30pm, will provide guests with an opportunity to discover the benefits from a range of Aloe Vera products, geared to improve skin condition, respiratory and immune systems.

Julie Christensen, a local independent distributor of Forever Living Products, will be on hand to demonstrate the products and share Christmas buying ideas.

The event will be free to attend, and Julie will donate a percentage of the profits on the night to the Railway’s “Bridge & Wheels” Appeal, that seeks to raise £1 million toward the cost of renewing a vital bridge on the Railway and the restoration of an historic steam engine.

Aloe vera is a succulent plant that conceals a pure inner gel that has been used for centuries to improve health and enhance beauty. It is marketed by Forever Living, founded in 1978 and now operating in 135 countries. Forever has become the largest grower, manufacturer and distributor of aloe vera and bee products in the world. Aloe vera is a versatile product, and can be taken as a drink or applied to the skin. It is not tested on animals but works just as well on animals as well as humans.

“I’d like as many people as possible to attend and find out more about these fantastic products” said Julie. “The products work just as well for men as they do women, so it would be wonderful to see a few of the engine drivers and firemen attending as well,” she said.
