Last 10 days, final push for donations! Had to adjust the target, so we have another one to aim for. Thank you so much to everybody who assisted in hitting the original number - now it's time to raise further funds for a tireless Hospice, especially during such a family-orientated festive period. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It has now been over 9 months since a beverage other than water has passed my lips! That's no hot drinks, nothing fizzy, and nothing flavoured; not even a slice of lime. Difficult, but worth it for your imminent and very generous donation. Thank you for every donation so far - please keep them coming, they are sent to the most tirelessly working charity to continue supporting families dealing with unexpected tragedy - worth a couple of quid.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, a year long challenge. 12 months drinking absolutely nothing other than water. 52 weeks without tea, coffee, hot chocolate or Horlicks. 365 days without beer.

This is a major sacrifice - the latter especially. However, more importantly, it benefits a major cause. The target is £1,825 - just five pound for every day of 2015 that I complete, every penny of which is utilised by such a committed, hard-working charity, who should not be noticed by only those affected.

Donate, 'Cheers.'
