MACMILLAN Cancer Support is asking the people of Trafford to 'Go Sober for October'.
The fundraising event, which challenges people to get sponsorship for giving up drinking alcohol for the month of October.
Christine Hadfield, from Macmillan Cancer Support, said: “Go Sober for October is a fundraising challenge with a difference. You don’t often get the chance to raise money for charity by not doing something, so this year we’re asking people to think about what a month without alcohol could do for them.
“Whatever your motivation for getting involved - health, wealth or happiness - all you need to do is dig out your willpower and register on the website. You’ll not only be doing something amazing for people affected by cancer, but also for yourself.”
Since Go Sober for October began in 2013, over 188,000 people across the country have taken part in the fundraising challenge, raising more than £10 million for Macmillan to help ensure that no one faces cancer alone.
