Last year, my friend Rachelle Renée completed blood:water mission's Forty Days of Water challenge, raising money to help bring water to those areas of Africa where a substance which we take for granted is in scarce supply, and often contaminated. This year, she has inspired me to do the same.

For the forty days of Lent, from 17th February - 3rd April, I will drink only water - donating the money I would have spent on other beverages to SCIAF. This means no Starbucks, no ice cold Coca-Cola... and no gin. Given that Lent this year includes the birthdays of my best friend, my brother AND my sister it's going to be a tough one, but I'm confident I can make it with the help and support of my friends and family - and hopefully raise a fair bit of money along the way!

Okay, I might take a little break during Julie's hen weekend. I'm not COMPLETELY insane.

I've chosen SCIAF, the official aid and international development charity of the Catholic Church in Scotland, as the recipient of any funds I raise here and I encourage you to dig deep to help. SCIAF is a charity I have supported since school, through their "Lent boxes" and associated campaigns, and I raised a fair bit of money thanks to the generosity of my customers at the old Somerfield, Johnstone during their annual "24-Hour Sponsored Fast" (as supported by Tommy Burns and Ally McCoist!) several years ago.

SCIAF works in over 20 countries across Asia, Africa and Latin America to help some of the poorest people in the world - regardless of religion - to work their way out of poverty, championing long-term aid and development projects helping people affected by conflict, hunger, HIV/AIDS, lack of healthcare and disability. SCIAF also provides emergency response to humanitarian disasters, most recently including helping the survivors of the Haitian earthquake. Here in Scotland, SCIAF campaigns to address the underlying causes of global poverty and injustice such as unfair trade and national debt by lobbying governments, businesses and international organisations to bring about long term and positive change.

Thanks for visiting, and I would encourage you to keep up to date on my blog where I will doubtless be having a good old moan as soon as the cravings hit (ie Thursday).
