Support me raising funds and awareness for children affected by a parent's drinking. I am completing Big Nacoa Walk 2023 on the 29th April. A big hilly trek through the Manifold Valley & Dovedale: 33 km (21 miles) 400 metres of ascent 10 hours. Nacoa (The National Association for Children of Alcoholics) is a Bristol based charity founded in 1990 to provide help and support for everyone affected by a parents drinking. We believe that every child has the right to a happy childhood and to live a creative and meaningful life but when drink is the family secret they are more likely to experience family violence, neglect and other problems in their own homes.
