her last challenge of 2015!

Long time no blog.....I've been too busy blogging from my 'This Girl Can Campaign' blog weekly so have been focusing on that.

This is only a short blog just to explain about my last challenge of the year. I haven't given it much thought, it was all very last minute but the decision is made, the Charity have been informed and when I say I am going to do something, I do it!

So............
After the success of 'Go Sober October' I raised in total £278 for Macmillan Cancer Care.
I had thought about doing something for The Veterans Charity again, but I thought about Christmas, and what it should really be about, and I will be missing my family this year. I live down here far away from them, and one particular family member has been missing for nearly 15 years, so I thought I would do this challenge for St. Catherine's Hospice in Crawley. This is where my Dad spent his final days, they were absolutely amazing, looking after us, as well as him. I have only done two charity events for them since my Dad died (one of them was running in a homemade furry bikini through Dorking with a massive teddy bear strapped to me!) so my final challenge of 2015 goes to St, Catherine's.
And I am 'Going Sober again for Christmas!'

Starting Christmas Eve and finishing on New Year's Day I  will not be touching a drop of alcohol for the whole period. Not even a teeny tiny tipple!

Go Sober October was good for me, I was productive, positive and felt so good in myself afterwards. Christmas is a bad time for me, work cancelled, nothing to do, people spending time with their families, me bored at home. I found in my Go Sober month that boredom was the trigger for me to drink, and I don't know moderation. So this Christmas I want to get stuff done, get into training more, finish decorating, start work on Belle the wonder van. So much to do and I have the time off to do it in. Without the distraction of drinking I can get stuff done.

I would love your support on this, Christmas is my biggest drinking time of year as a rule, so it won't be as easy as October was. At least this year though I guess without the distraction of The Bay Horse it won't be as bad!

Of course, this is for Charity, and I am going to ask you to dig deep into your pockets for your last Christmas pennies and donate to the most wonderful charity, who looked after the best man in the world for us.
Please go online and put in www.virginmoneygiving.com/DebbieDoesDevon this would be the best present for our family. My Mum is supporting me in this 100% so I want to make her proud of me.

Have a great Christmas and a good start to 2016! xx
