My New Year’s resolution? I’m giving up alcohol. For January. For Cancer Research UK. I’m becoming a dryathlete. No more 'Auntie Pinot'. All through January I’m not going to touch alcohol. Not a drop. So instead of buying me a drink, I’d like you to donate. I want to raise awareness and money for Cancer Research UK for the great work they do. I reckon that if my family and friends donated the price of a glass (or bottle!) of my favourite Pinot Grigio that I would otherwise be drinking with them this month I would smash my target.

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.
