Story

I've created this page because I want to support Above & Beyond's Bristol Against Cancer campaign, and raise money to help make cancer care in Bristol the best it can be. 

We're all doing challenges around the number 13, which is linked to the 13,000 incredible NHS staff working across our Bristol city hospitals.

I'm flipping 13 on its head, and doing 31 - YES 31 - days sober. Anyone who knows me, knows this will involve a lot of grumbling, sighing and general grouchiness. Sober October is originally an awesome Macmillan campaign (another of my old work places!) but I've chosen to do this challenge to improve cancer services in Bristol.

Today, like every day, 2,500 new patients will take their first steps through the doors of one of Bristol city centre hospitals. For many of these patients, their journey through the hospitals will be one of the hardest of their lives. I believe every single one of them deserves the best possible treatment and wanted to fundraise to support this campaign. Please help me by giving what you can using the 'Donate' button and sharing my fundraiser with your friends and family.
