Thanks for visiting my page

I’m running Cardiff half on 6th Oct 🏃‍♀️

Royal Parks half on 13th Oct 🏃‍♀️

I personally had an unhealthy relationship with alcohol so 2 years ago after numerous attempts to moderate I decided to give up.

For me it’s the best decision I’ve made, I’m not anti- alcohol but it’s the only drug that we are encouraged to take and this needs addressing.

In the UK one person every hour dies as a result of alcohol.

Alcohol can cause mental health problems, liver disease, one of seven forms of cancer, economic difficulties, and so much more.

The harm doesn’t end with us when we drink to excess, the family friends and the community feel the effects too, whether through frequent use of emergency services, drink driving, violence or neglect.

Alcohol Change UK work towards a future in which people drink as a conscious choice, not a default; where the issues which lead to alcohol problems – like poverty, mental health issues, homelessness – are addressed; where those who drink too much, and their loved ones, have access to high-quality support whenever they need it, without shame or stigma.

Any donations however small are really appreciated
