I am running the Venice half marathon on October 26th for Alcohol Change UK, a charity that means a great deal to me. Since becoming sober curious in November, I’ve experienced both the challenges and the profound benefits of this journey—each day feels brighter and more hopeful. I lost one of the most special people in my life to this disease, a painful reminder that alcoholism is a serious illness, not a choice, and one that claims millions of lives each year. Alarmingly, it’s affecting the lives of younger and younger people each year. By supporting Alcohol Change UK, you’re helping raise awareness, fund life-saving research, and provide vital support for those struggling. Please give whatever you can—it truly makes a difference.
