I’m becoming a Dryathlete. I must be mad. I'm giving up the ale for a month for Cancer Research UK. Yes, you're right, I couldn't bothered running a marathon. So that pint you owe me, could you give the cash to cancer research instead. £3 for northerners, £5 for southerners.  All through January I’m not going to touch alcohol. Not a drop. So instead of buying me a drink, I’d like you to donate. Every pound helps Cancer Research UK bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. I’ll be donating my drinking money and if I happen to slip off the wagon, I’ll chuck in an extra £15 to make up for it. Many thanks in advance
