All 4 NACOA - 4 days of endurance · 13 July 2023

1 in 5 children in the UK are affected by their parents' alcohol problems. They are often frightened and isolated, with no one to turn to for help. Nacoa responds by providing a free, confidential telephone, 1-2-1 chat and email helpline.

Story

I grew up around alcoholism and it was really tough. At times it felt my brother and I were invisible, and that we had nobody to turn to - we didn't know about Nacoa's helpline and the people around us didn't either.

Nacoa's helpline is so important because no child should ever have to feel alone, or ashamed or afraid because of the addiction of their parents! The awareness and education campaigns of Nacoa are just as important because communities, social workers, teachers and other professionals should be aware of such a great resource for the children they come across!

It has been a long time since I've done a triathlon, I haven't done any regular biking since 2018 and I've been injured and not really running for most of 2023 so far. I decided this fundraising event would be a great way to get back into meaningful training - I'm not going to be fast, but I am going to complete my 'Long Weekend'!
