Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have decided to do Sober October!

Having never going more than 10 days without an alcoholic drink in my adult life, this will be a challenge and I am curious to see how I feel at the end of it.

As you know this charity was set up in the name of my Sister Karen who passed away on 2021. She would be laughing her head off at me doing this!

I wasn't going to publicise it, or do it for any other cause except giving my liver a rest, but I know if anyone is kind enough to support me, it will spur me on and raise some money for the charity too. £5 a day for 31 days works out at £155, so that is my initial target.

Wish me luck!
