Story

I lost my mum twice - her real self and her physical self. Alcohol changes a person and it did just that to my mum - Kitty. She was clever , brave, inappropriately funny, generous and one of the most loving people there was - ask anyone who knew her before the alcohol and they wouldn’t be able to agree more. I would do anything to get my mum back ,anything. And I don’t want anyone ever to go through what I’m going through and that massive hole that’s going to be within my heart for the rest of my life. That’s why I’m running the half marathon in Cardiff this October because my mum deserves to be remembered for everything that she was don’t get me wrong she wasn’t perfect, but who really is?  And I’m not saying she didn’t hurt me because she did but that was her alcoholic side - I want to prevent alcoholism and the awful effects of it. Our drinking culture does, I believe, encourage and normalise this. Did you know that 20 people on the UK 🇬🇧 die as a result of alcoholism a day - that’s not just statistics that’s a person. A person with aspirations, dreams, fears, faults, talents and their own unique personality. That’s 20 communities broken. So why aren’t we doing lore about it? I don’t know, you tell me. But we can all start by doing a little thing. Whether that’s being a listening ear, going alcohol free for the week, sticking to our actual units or .... maybe sponsoring someone for a half marathon 😏 

I would really appreciate no matter how little or big a donation just a little step in the battle against alcoholism and it’s disastrous effects and lives damaged and forever lost.

FairPlay if you actually finished reading this. Let’s love and be kind guys 💓

I love you mum more than you’ll ever know
