Hi, Make sure you are sitting down when you read this. I’m giving up alcohol. For January. For Cancer Research UK. It's a fantastic cause and one that is close to my heart. My wonderful, fit and healthy, dad died of cancer 2 & 1/2yrs ago. Everybody is touched by cancer these days and thinking about and seeing first hand the pain and treatment that people have to go through, giving up booze is a mere nothing is comparison. I’m becoming a Dryathlete. All through January I’m not going to touch alcohol. Not a drop. 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 considering I drink double grey goose vodka and diet coke it may well stack up! 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. So go on, buy me a drink and donate the money. Cheers! Xx
