Story

Is there anyone left who hasn't donated and wants to? I probably won't quite reach my target, but every little will help! Thanks for everyone's generosity this month :-)

I've passed the halfway mark to my Dryathlon target! Thanks everyone who's donated - you are all awesome x

Another weekend passed without having a drink. Please make my friends having to put up with me sober for three weeks worthwhile and donate for Cancer Research!

Is there nobody left who hasn't donated? If you can afford even just a couple of pounds then I would really appreciate it - I've had friends and family affected by cancer, some made it through and others didn't, and recently the UK Roller Derby community lost someone who meant a lot to so many people. The price of a glass of wine or pint of beer can make a difference... Thanks for reading this far :-)

I'm just over halfway through my 2013 Dryathlon, and I'm starting to really feel the burn! Please, if you can spare the cost of one drink to donate to Cancer Research UK then it will make this all worthwhile...

To celebrate becoming a trainee ref I'll be not drinking any alcohol for another two weeks! Please help me raise money and donate the cost of a drink to Cancer Research UK if you can. Thanks!

Yesterday seriously tested my Dryathlon skills, but I just about made it through!

It's Saturday night soon - think of me while you enjoy a drink!

Ready for the first dry weekend of January! Thanks to everyone who has donated, or promised to donate when they can - I'm aiming for £200 in total, can anyone else help? Cancer has affected me, and many people I care about, so I am grateful for anything you can spare :-)

Updated on Jan 3rd 2013 at 7:46 PM from the JustGiving API

Another 5% closer! :-D

I've already reached 10% of my target! Thanks generous people!

It's almost 9am and I still haven't had a drink! That deserves some sponsorship, surely?

Already had my first donation! :-D

Cancer has affected many people I know, and I want to raise some money to help Cancer Research, as well as do myself some good!

My New Year’s resolution? I’m giving up alcohol. For January. For Cancer Research UK. I’m becoming a Dryathlete. 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. 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.
