Cathy has been taking part in Dryathlon this January, giving up alcohol for the first month of the year to raise money for Cancer Research UK. She’s almost halfway there and has managed 2 weeks already. Just 2 more (… and a bit) to go Cathy!
It’s been well worth it, as she has raised over £500 already through generous donations from friends, family and colleagues. If you’d like to support her in her quest, you can donate here:
