Story

Thanks for visiting my page. This September I'm taking on Dryathlon® and raising money for Cancer Research UK. I’ll be ditching the drink for one month to help bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. 

Due to an injury causing a herniated back and horrible sciatica 10 weeks ago, the painkillers I've been on preclude any drinking, so as someone who loves her Prosecco, I've not been drinking for weeks now and I'm someone who loves a glass of fizz...

As a close friend reminded me the other me the other day, it's just 'liquid cake' anyway and I've lost 10 lbs by not drinking booze so the benefits outweigh the buzz, so to speak! So I'm already well-trained for the September Dryathlon event...

My lovely, strong, brave mum is having her own battle right now with this horrible disease so I just wish to try and raise a little money to go toward the research needed to find a cure. That's it. 

Any amount, small or large, will be truly and deeply appreciated from the heart.

Love Catherine xx

PS - remember if you are a UK tax payer click on 'gift aid' and Cancer Research UK will receive even more..
