Feb Fast - Supporting a good cause

Peter Baylor said I should put this in the Newsletter and I agree with him, it's a great cause.

I wanted to let you know that I'm undertaking FebFast this year. What's that? Well, according the official website:

"Imagine what 28 alcohol-free days can do for your waistline, your wallet and your liver! Press the pause button this February, to take a month off the booze and make a healthy start to the year ahead."
