My New Year’s resolution? I’m giving up alcohol. For January. For Cancer Research UK. I’m becoming a Dryathlete! There used to be a time when I didn't touch a drop and I'm determined that I can get back to that and thought that this was a great reason if any. 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 if I slip up along the way but hopefully I can prove that you don't need alcohol to have a good time and I'll be raring to go on a Saturday morning instead of cowering in bed. The Dryathlete’s Oath I promise that I shall take part in Dryathlon™, respecting and abiding by the rules which govern it, committing myself to a month without alcohol, in the true spirit of do-gooding, for the glory of Dryathletes and the honour of Cancer Research UK.
