Story
So here we are, another year-ish on and I'm preparing for another half marathon with the self set challenge of beating my time from last years Great North Run (1:57). I'll be running the innagural Ilkley Half Marathon, July 14th - the place my father spent his youth and attended grammar school.
Why? I'd like to keep raising awareness and hopefully some fund-raising for Alcohol Change (formerly Alcohol Concern now merged with Alcohol Research UK).
The impact of alcohol related issues stick around for years, certainly in our family's experience they do. The work Alcohol Change do is not only admirable but crucial in only offering support to those who have the bravery to seek it. They're also changing perceptions and behaviour towards alcohol in the mainstream. Please have a read, they're doing some fantastic things;

As before, a share would be appreciated, a donation would be amazing and seeing some of your faces as I run through the streets of Addingham & Ilkley in support would be a welcome boost to get me over the line in good time. JustGiving Page now online for this years event.
Thanks for reading
