On Sunday the 23rd of January I will be running the Storm Force 10 (10 mile road race) on behalf of the organisation I work for - Bosence Drug & Alcohol Treatment. 

Bosence are a registered charity who provide an essential service to those whose lives have been adversley affected by addiction. Since 1995 we have provided treatment to thousands of individuals from all walks of life; empowering and supporting them to achieve their potential free from addiction. 

The funds raised will be used to purchase exercise equipment. The beneficial effects of exercise for those in recovery are well documented and include: a reduction in stress, better sleep, improved mood, a stronger immune system and increased energy. Regular exercise can prevent relapse by effectively managing depression and anxiety through structure and routine.

The exercise equipment purchased will depend on the funds raised, however we are hoping to raise enough to include the purchase a running machine which will be particularly useful during the winter months.
