Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As some of you will know, I like beer. So much so in fact, that I find it difficult not to have a beer every day. My beer friendship has meant that I spent the whole weekend (21/22 Feb) in bed unable to walk due to a gout attack. I saw this as an opportunity to to attempt to stay off the beer for a week - I mean, I have a head start and at the time of writing I can't walk, surely that has to help me!

A week off the ale probably doesn't sound too difficult for some, but to put this in perspective - in my world it's the equivalent of the pope not praying for a week or my lovely wife not playing Candy Crush (or whatever it is) for a day. Not easy.

To encourage donations, I will steal an idea I saw recently and match every £ raised with another £ (up to £250 max). So even if you don't think it's a big enough challenge - you can donate safe in the knowledge that your hard earned pound will be doubled.

I've chosen a local charity called Spanish Stray Dogs. I love their work and at this time of year they always appreciate a few extra donations. 

Dry dates: 22-28th Feb inclusive.

Thanks for visiting.
