Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This July marks 10 years since I quit drinking (14/7/14) and, to celebrate, I'll be participating in a 25km trek in the Peak District during Alcohol Awareness Week (1st - 7th of July 2024). All the funds I raise will go to Alcohol Change UK to support their mission to reduce alcohol harms. 2024 also marks 25 years since I lost my father to suicide after his own struggles with dependency, so this year is a big time of reflection around the cycles I've broken and the changes I want to make more accessible for others.

I can't believe how much my life and my outlook has changed in the past 10 years, and I want more people to have access to that opportunity. Please support in any way you can - it's the best gift to mark this very special occasion for me.
