So I've decided for January and for Cancer Research UK, to become a Dryathlete. What does being a Dryathlete involve I hear you ask. Well basically, all through January I’m not going to touch alcohol. Not a drop!!!

I decided to do this because quite recently my Mum was diagnosed with cancer for the second time in her life and beat it! I felt that I wanted to do something, even something as little as not boozing for a month, to raise money for Cancer Research UK. Plus after the New Years I have just had, it seems like a great way to start the new year.

So instead of buying me a drink, I’d like you to donate. Every pound helps Cancer Research UK bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. I’ll be donating my drinking money and if I happen to slip off the wagon, I’ll chuck in an extra £15 to make up for it.

Thank you!

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.
