I've decided to do 'Sober for October' by way of raising money for the Samaritans helpline. Depression and alcohol are issues that have affected me quite closely and The Samaritans do a great job to help people at their lowest ebb.

I'm also making a donation to Macmillan by way of thanks for a great fundraising idea.

Over the next 31 days I will be asking friends for a 'virtual drink' - just the price of a pint donated through my just giving page.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
