Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Addaction is such a great organisation. It is totally dedicated to helping young people and families blighted by addiction regain control of their lives and make a positive contribution in their communities.

I am always inspired by the staff team, our volunteers and the recovery champions whose compassionate and determined approach really does transform lives for the better. So many people give up their time and energy at weekends and evenings to support our work and raise money for Addaction. This year in particular, Heineken staff have been taking on some incredible, inspiring fundraising challenges for Act for Addaction. It's about time I played my part too.

Joanne and I have set ourselves a goal to raise at least £1,500 for Addaction and in doing so challenge ourselves to run the Royal Parks Half Marathon in October.

£1,500 will help support a family to overcome drug or alcohol problems and break the cycle of addiction. Having met one such family recently and seen the difference their family worker's support has made, it is absolutely vital that we can continue to help further families regain control of their lives and beat addiction.
