The chosen charities ...

ELAPSED 4 / 362 REMAINING

In searching for reasons to do this year-long teetotal stint, I've decided upon giving to charity as one of the most important reasons, if not the most important reason.

As I am indecisive, and giving to a number of charities would dilute the benefit by dividing up however much I eventually collect, I am going to set up a SurveyMonkey survey beginning Friday, April 1st, and closing Friday, September 30th. The survey will give those who wish to sponsor my self-inflicted madness six months to help me decide who I should give to by selecting their own favoured charity from the following list:

• Age UK - http://www.ageuk.org.uk/
• Barnardo's - http://www.barnardos.org.uk/
• British Heart Foundation - http://www.bhf.org.uk/
• British Liver Trust - http://www.britishlivertrust.org.uk/
• CLIC Sargent - http://www.clicsargent.org.uk/
• Help For Heroes - http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/
• NSPCC - http://www.nspcc.org.uk/
• Rainbow Trust - http://www.rainbowtrust.org.uk/
• RSPCA - http://www.rspca.org.uk/
• Starlight - http://www.starlight.org.uk/
