Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm going sober for 2016 because I wanted to take Dry January and step further and raise awareness for the charity Alcohol Concern. Alcoholism is a massively misunderstood illness which affects thousands of people across the UK every year. My main aim is to simply raise awareness of this illness but if I can raise some money along the way as well, then that's an added bonus! So there is no target for me, but any donations are welcome!

Plus the money you donate will help Alcohol Concern, the national charity dedicated to tackling the harm caused by alcohol to individuals, families and society. Did you know that 93,500 babies under 1 live with a parent who is a problem drinker? Your donations and fundraising can help provide awareness around the issues, get young people involved in conversations around alcohol for the first time, and help to protect families.
