Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. You are great.

So I'm doing this for several reasons, mostly because I've seen the effects of alcohol addiction and substance abuse on people around me for as much of my life as I can remember. Alcohol has taken family members and friends and family members of friends and it's been one of my foes for a bit too. 

I've kind of decided that I need to try and do something about it, to be positive and to raise awareness of the support that's out there and to let people know, it's alright to know you have a problem and seek help. Similarly, it's alright to not be sure if you need support but to pop in and have a chat with someone and find out what's there for you, if you ever get to the point where you feel you need it. Addaction offer loads of support and services for people faced with both alcohol and substance related issues. 

I'm planning to run a bloody long way to try and put the message out there about Addaction, so it would be really, really nice if you could share this page and maybe leave me a couple of quid while your here to help me reach my goal. 

Plan is to do BOTH the Liverpool Half Marathon (March) and the FULL Liverpool Rock'n'Roll Marathon (May). In fact, if you fancy a trip out to support on either of those days, that would also be great (don't worry if you can't though, for some reason proper runs start really stupidly early in the morning, I wouldn't be out of bed if I wasn't taking part). 

In addition to both of these runs, I'll also be taking part in the Port Sunlight 10k (April) and the Mersey Tunnel 10k (June).

Without rambling on, I'll leave it there. I just want to say thanks for visiting the page, I appreciate your support and if you can join me in spreading the word and the positivity, that would be quite nice too.
