NO ALCOHOL JANUARY..

Last year I raised £160 for Cancer Research UK by not drinking alcohol during January.

This year I'm signing up again to their annual DryathlonTM and have set the target at £200 like last year. I suspect it might be a little harder this year as there's a limit to how many times you can ask your facebook friends to donate. It's not fair to keep digging the same people in the ribs and asking them to cough up money.

So, if you donated last year do please consider whether you can do the same again this year. If you can't it is not a problem. If you don't want to, again it's not a problem.

We all have our favourite charities that we give to and everybody is different in that respect. I do this one for Cancer Research as the scientific programmes that are run in the UK are world class and deserve to be supported. I also give a little bit each month to the Royal National Lifeboat Institute here in the UK too. I am from a coastal town and have had experience of the good work they do (not me airlifted out of the sea, my brother!).

Here's a link direct to my JustGiving donation page - entirely free, the money goes direct to the charity. If you click and donate, thank you.

If you want to do it the easy way, from a UK mobile phone you can simply text like this to 70070. You choose the amount - £2 is just my example!


Finally, if you want to know more - here are some links to the Dryathlon pages, twitter and facebook etc
