Story
Thanks for visiting my JustGiving. This January 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. Please dig deep and donate now.
I'd given up alcohol before in 2009 or 2010 to raise money for charity. It was without a shadow of a doubt the most difficult thing to do. Every occassion in life seems to be 'celebrated' drinking alcohol. The peer pressure was the worst from other adults unable to comprehend the will power it takes to say NO! Younger people were often very encouraging and supportive.
So this year, with my previous experience of being 'dry' I hope to raise awareness and money for cancer research. Who knows, maybe somebody reading this will be inspired to do the same.
Compared to the sacrifices and challenges cancer patients and their families face, giving up alcohol is my decision. Cancer patients may not have a choice.
With love and light into 2016
