As you know, in October I'm going to be challenging myself to go sober for the entire month. Although this may seem a simple challenge, I'll put it in perspective by saying this will be the first month in 8 years without at least one beer!!

I'm going to be raising much needed funds for a lovely, small charity in the Midlands called 'The Myriad Centre'.

They provide invaluable respite care for young people with the most severe of disabilities.

Most have profound learning and sensory difficulties and spend most of their lives in wheelchairs being cared for 24/7.

The Myriad Centre provides an opportunity to leave the confines of their bedrooms, meet their friends and have days that are fulfilled, fun, and full of laughter.

Never have this group of young people needed our support more. The extended period of lock down meant that they were isolated in their bedrooms and did not have the physical and mental support needed to stay well.

My target is to raise £500+ and this will really help to provide some of the activities and therapies needed to redress the impact of lock down - and bring some joy back into their lives!


Thank you so much!
