I'm not drinking in January to raise some much needed cash for Cancer Research UK. Cancer runs in my family and I feel it's in my interest to help further the research in this area. I'm also training for the Paris Marathon and it'd be excellent to lose a few pounds in January too. When I drink I eat too much.

I will be keeping everyone up to date with my progress on my blog.

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.
