Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Our daughter, Holly, struggled to overcome her alcohol addiction, but sadly, she lost and died in November 2021. She was only 34 years old with a bright future ahead in her dream career as a lawyer, with a loving family and many friends. We lost a daughter, her siblings lost a sister, her nephews and nieces lost an aunt and many people lost a dear friend. 

When well, she was a fitness fanatic and trained for triathlons; she particularly loved swimming and running and she encouraged me to do the Couch to 5K during the last lockdown in January 2021. I've continued to run and will be running the Yorkshire 10 Mile in her memory. She will be with me every step of the way.

Thank you for your support. I hope that by supporting Alcohol Change, work can continue to make people aware of the damage done by alcohol, not only to the person, but also to families and friends.
