In true tradition, I'm ditching the drink this January and taking part in Cancer Research's Dryathlon.

As many of you will know, Cancer Research is a charity close to my heart. Like many people affected by the disease, I lost my mum to breast cancer in 2006, so aim to raise £100 to continue to contribute towards vital research.

Every day 130 women are diagnosed with breast cancer, but £100 enables one women to take part in a clinical trial to improve survival for post-menopausal women with early stage breast cancer.

Thanks for your support.
