My story

In a moment of weakness, I was persuaded to sign up to run the Brighton half marathon this February.  It will be quite an achievement just to make it to the finish, yet I will be running with a few people whose times will definitely be better than mine!  So, in an attempt to lend some meaning to my plodding, I've decided to try to raise some money.

The date of the Brighton half marathon marks the end of Children of Alcoholics week this year, and it therefore seemed apt to fundraise for NACOA.  You can read more about them through the link on this page.

Thanks in advance for your support!

NACOA's latest research indicates that there are at least 920,000 children and young people, under the age of 18, in the UK today living in a home where one or both parents have a problem with alcohol. Seventy percent of these children will try to hide the problem from the outside world. They are often frightened and isolated, with no one to turn to for help. NACOA responds by providing information, advice and support through its free, confidential telephone helpline (0800 358 3456).
