I'm saying farewell to fizzy pop, bye-bye to beer and laters to lattes and drinking nothing but water for 2 weeks to raise money for the RNLI and their lifesavers at sea who drop everything at a moment’s notice to save lives on the water.

Anyone who knows me knows that I have an addiction to the fizzy stuff. 2 weeks without coke is MY marathon. It's been pretty tough so far.

I've avoided morning coffees, wine at dinner with friends, and endless cokes so far. Can you make it worth it? I still have a Pride Parade and a big birthday bash to get  through! It only gets tougher each day...
