Anyone who knows me knows I am a big drinker! I like to party with the best of them and I have never done dry January before, I have always thought it would be too hard and boring! But I really want to challenge myself to do this now in order to look and feel better and be more productive after being inspired by 'One Year No Beer' no... I am not doing 1 year! ... well not yet anyway. 

Why this charity? My wonderful Mum has recently been diagnosed with this condition after being hospitalised with a high pulse. As I am currently working and living in China and a natural born worrier the last couple of weeks have been difficult and stressful for all of our family and I have felt totally helpless. There has been a lot to take in, find out and tests are still ongoing so I thought raising money for this would be a great incentive to ensure that I am strong and complete the challenge in order to raise money for this good cause.   

I would really appreciate any donations.
