Anyone who know's me knows I've always loved a few drinks. During the first lock down I decided I was drinking more than I'd like to and that I wanted to make a positive change and change my relationship with alcohol. So for 12 months I will give up all alcohol, low alcohol and food containing alcohol. 

I have a son with a profound learning disability, two years ago Make a Wish made his dreams come true with a hot tub, the difference it has made to him has been phenomenal, its been hugely beneficial to his spine and physio and has helped him build strength, he even sleeps occasionally now. Without it in that first long lock down, I genuinely think we would have gone under, as it was the only thing that calmed him and made him happy.

Doing this will help to give me an opportunity to give something back to a charity that has given my son and our family so much.

 Make-A-Wish UK grant magical wishes to enrich the lives of children and young people fighting life-threatening conditions. Granting their wish provides seriously ill children with hope for the future, strength to cope and resilience to fight their condition. They’re given quality time away from the daily realities of living with their condition and given the chance to make magical memories they can treasure forever – whatever their future may hold. We want to transform the lives of 1,000 children this year by granting their One True Wish!
