Story

Hello and thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As many of you know, I struggled with an alcohol problem for many years which quickly progressed throughout my 20's. I am extremely grateful that I was lucky enough to get the help I needed and I will be celebrating 2 years of sobriety in September. On Sunday 3rd September, I will be hosting a mixed netball tournament at Cardiff House of Sport (12:45-16:30) to raise money for Alcohol Change UK.

Alcohol Change UK are a wonderful charity and are not anti-alcohol. This is something I want to stress as it is not necessarily about being teetotal. They promote a future of conscious choice with alcohol to prevent alcohol harm. They are driven by five key changes:

1. Improved knowledge.

2. Better policies and regulation.

3. Shifted cultural norms.

4. Improved drinking behaviours.

5. More and better support and treatment.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. Spectators are also welcome at the tournament to support the teams and there will be teas, coffees and snacks available (please bring cash). I know that times are hard at the moment but any amount of donation would be greatly appreciated!

I just want to take this opportunity to personally thank everyone who has supported me over the last 2 years. I count my lucky stars for you all and I could not have got sober without your love. If anyone is struggling with an addiction, please reach out my line is always open.
