No booze - for 31 days! Those who know me, or have suffered at the hands of my drunken ramblings at 2am will know this IS a challenge.

The Paddy is giving up booze for 31 days. What will happen once alcohol is no longer the primary substance in his blood system? What will sobriety look like? (Jeez I sound like an alchie - no comments please!)

But there is a good reason for this madness - my Dad.

He was an incredible man - as a doctor he was loved by his patients, as father and a family man he was the cornerstone of the Granville clan.

But diabetes robbed us of him.

He suffered in his later years badly from the effects of diabetes. No-one deserves that. So in my own small way I am helping to give back by raising funds for Diabetes NZ.

This money is going to Diabetes NZ.

Diabetes New Zealand is a charity that represents and supports people with diabetes. We’ve been around for over 50 years and have a National Office in Wellington, and branches across the country with staff and volunteers who help people live well with diabetes.
