Christina's Fundraising Journey: Supporting Families Affected by Addiction

It's such a healthy way to express either grief or if you're having troubles with, say, maybe, somebody that you know that suffers from addiction, you can know that you're actively doing something that will maybe trickle down to them and help them.
Imagine taking on a fundraising challenge to support families grappling with addiction. That's exactly what Christina did, and in this episode of 'Life with Alcohol and Drugs', she shares her incredible journey. Hosted by Sarah, the Fundraising Manager at Scottish Families Affected by Alcohol and Drugs, this episode dives into Christina's motivation and the impact of her efforts.
Christina was inspired by her mother's resilience during the pandemic, which spurred her to participate in events like the Kiltwalk and the Supernova Run. She raised an impressive amount through word of mouth and social media, proving that anyone can make a difference with determination and a bit of creativity. Sarah also provides practical tips for those looking to start their own fundraising efforts, from using paper sponsor forms to personally approaching potential donors.
Whether you're interested in fundraising or just want to hear an uplifting story of community support, this episode offers both inspiration and practical advice. Tune in to learn how you can contribute to a cause that supports families affected by alcohol and drug addiction.
