I've decided to raise money for Open Road because there are several individuals close to my heart who I know have been adversely affected by substance and/or alcohol addiction.

Fortunately I've been able to celebrate and congratulate a number of those who have managed to make substantial changes to their lives for the better.

Open Road does excellent work offering support to people struggling with the same (and other) personal issues.

Their mission is to empower a diverse range of individuals, families and communities to lead healthy and more meaningful lives, free from addiction, offending behaviour and disadvantage, to ensure healthier, happier lifestyles.

They seek to strike a balance between acceptance and change; to accept people as they are, whilst helping them to make positive changes as they so desire.
