Story

<p>Every year, I give up something for Lent (the 46 days before Easter) to support the guys at <a href="http://www.yeldall.org.uk">Yeldall Manor</a> who have to give up their addictions (drugs or alcohol) <em>for life</em>.</p> <p>This year, I am being more traditional and giving up chocolate.&nbsp; Chocolate is not normally a huge problem for me (I am one of those annoying people who can open a box and not scoff the lot), <span style="text-decoration: underline;">but</span>, this year, I don't seem to have stopped eating chocolate since Christmas, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">and</span> Steve keeps buying more!</p> <p>So no more chocolate bars, no chocolate biscuits, puddings or&nbsp;hot chocolate. And no replacing them with other sweet treats either!</p> <p>In addition to that, I am giving up my consuming passion, Facebook, for Holy Week as well.&nbsp; For a week before Easter I will need to find something more benefecial to do with my time!</p> <p>Please sponsor me in my challenge.&nbsp; It may be trivial, but it is raising funds for the vital work of rehabilitation.&nbsp; Even &pound;2 makes a difference.&nbsp; At this time, when funding for residential rehabilitation is harder than ever to come by, your donation is really appreciated.<br /><br />God bless you <br /><br />Sue x</p>
