I'm running the Brighton Half Marathon on 2nd March for Alcohol Change. Here's why and how you can help 👇

Last Summer I received the shocking news that my dad had died. He lost his fight with alcoholism, with a subdurial haematoma, prostate cancer and alcohol liver related disease. A horrific addiction that had a hold of him for 40 years. The pain he must have been experiencing to lean on this coping mechanism breaks my heart, and I felt helpless. I believe alcohol kills a person twice, the 1st when it steals they're identity, and the 2nd it claims their life.

It's far time that we stop judging those with alcoholism, but offer them kindness, support and the help they need to see a way out of this spiralling addiction.

I'm running the Brighton half marathon for Alchohol change to raise money that I know will go on to support so many in a similar position to my dad. No one should have the die from alcohol. I'm here to make my dad proud on what would have been his 60th birthday and to help support others in need.

Please donate what you can.

It's been rather gruelling training for this race in winter and and hammering out 10 miles in storm eowyn, but I know it'll be so worth while. Totally preparing myself to burst into tears once I cross that 13 mile finish line.
