I’m running the Brighton Half Marathon in March in support of Alcohol Change UK.

My brother was an alcoholic and this negatively impacted his whole adult life and the lives of those close to him. He died two years ago, prematurely at the age of 58 from alcohol related issues.

Alcohol Change UK are working for a society that is free from the harm caused by alcohol.

They are not anti-alcohol; but are for alcohol change. They are for a future in which people drink as a conscious choice, not a default; where the issues which lead to alcohol problems like poverty, mental health issues, homelessness are addressed; where those of us who drink too much, and our loved ones, have access to high-quality support whenever we need it, without shame or stigma.

Your donations can help by:

* £20 could support around 20 people reduce their drinking through the Dry January® challenge.

* £30 could help us develop and deliver more training for front line workers and improve support for dependent drinkers.

* £40 could cover the costs of supporting 16 people for six months to reduce their drinking through our Try Dry® app.
