Story

I’m running both the London Half Marathon (Sunday 10th March) and the London Marathon (Sunday 28th April) for every child of an alcoholic. I enjoyed it so much last year that I thought I'd run it for a third time. So, please help me raise money for the charity NACOA this year. 

If you want to hear about why this cause is so important to me, please listen to my appearance on Nick Robinson's Political Thinking Podcast here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p070bc0j 

Nacoa (The National Association for Children of Alcoholics) is a Bristol based charity founded in 1990 to provide help and support for everyone affected by a parent’s drinking. We believe that every child has the right to a happy childhood and to live a creative and meaningful life but when drink is the family secret they are more likely to experience family violence, neglect and other problems in their own homes.

About the charity

1 in 5 children in the UK are affected by their parents' alcohol problems. They are often frightened and isolated, with no one to turn to for help. Nacoa responds by providing a free, confidential telephone, 1-2-1 chat and email helpline.
