My New Year’s resolution? I’m giving up alcohol. For a month.  For Cancer Research UK. I’m becoming a Dryathlete. My Mum died last year from cancer. In 2013 I'm going to run a 5k for Cancer Research UK, and the dryathalon will help me get into the groove. For one month I’m not going to touch alcohol. Not a drop. So instead of buying me a drink, I’d like you to donate. Every pound helps Cancer Research UK bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. I’ll be donating my drinking money and if I happen to slip off the wagon, I’ll chuck in an extra £15 to make up for it. Cheers. The Dryathlete’s Oath I promise that I shall take part in Dryathlon™, respecting and abiding by the rules which govern it, committing myself to a month without alcohol, in the true spirit of do-gooding, for the glory of Dryathletes and the honour of Cancer Research UK.
