Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

I had been thinking for a while about ways to support our Global Charity. Coincidentally, a few weeks ago, Kathy told me about a challenge that she is planning for February - to go alcohol free for the month. So, then I thought I would join her - what better way to embrance a cause than by "Getting healthy to raise money"?  

Frankly speaking, I never thought I could completely give up alcohol for a month (don't judge me, everyone enjoys a glass of vino on the weekends haha). However, taking into account that, people around my age spend easily on average per weekend $50-$100, it made me realise that, this money could be put towards something more meaningful and rewarding, such as this amazing cause War Child. Ok, having said that, I am not asking you to give up on your beers with the boys after work on Fridays, or on that champagne with the girls on the weekend!

Kathy and I are aiming to raise AUD$1,000.00 by the end of February, it means that if 100 people give up on one drink on the following 28 days and donate that money to War Child instead, we can easily achieve our goal and help this cause. At the end of the day, what is $10 compared to many lives that you could be saving?

Also, for those who are curious to know what benefits would arise if you stopped drinking, here are some of them:

1. You will sleep better.

2. You will lose weight.

3. You will have more money (your wallet you will say "thank you").

4. Your concentration and work performance will improve.

5. You will gain an extra day on weekend (e.g. sunday - no more hangovers), consequently you will have more time for your friends and family.

6. Your "will power" of being able to say no to a drink for 1 day, 30 days, a year, who knows, will boost your confidence.
