I had originally planned to raise money through some form of sposored hyper run however I soon realised that giving up drink for a month would be much more challenging than any 24 hour run (infer what you will). Thus for the whole of January I shall be a dryathlete (excluding post midnight of New Years Eve during which I was anything but sober!).

As you may or may not be aware a dryathlon means no Alcohol for the whole of January. Those of you that know me will know that I do like my alcohol, some may even say that I drink like a fish. Thus this challange will be anything but easy. That said it is for a truely amazing cause which has directly or indirectlly affected us all at some point.

I personally shall be donating £10 for every Friday of this month that I would usually be out drinking, totalling at £50 for the whole month. Since I shall not be drinking I may also do some lifts in return for small donations (pending on getting my car sorted outt and insured). Also should I fall off the wagon at any point during the month I will be subject to a £20 forfiture donation or "tipple tax". I am however determined for this not to happen!

That is about all I have to say. Let it be known that I do not intend to give up for good and will soon be back having drunken conversations with the bar staff at the Waterend Barn. It is however a worthy challange for a truely amazing cause. As such all donations are greatly appreciated.
