...last year i signed up for the Dry July fund raising effort that supports adult cancer sufferers...it was a satisfying month, after the first week, that is... I managed to raise 600+ bucks for the Chch Oncology unit, a hell of a lot less than some fundraisers, but still worth the effort...the silliest thing I did was to start again after it was over...it was halfway through august before I succumbed to the 'bottle'...anyway, I just signed up again...it is a worthwhile thing to do and maybe if the booze is something you need a break from, this is a good way of going about it...it's either a personal or a team thing...maybe some KB'ers would like to get a team together?...
