Our history
Founded in 2023, Don’t Drink Challenge began when @noboozjon an ex Royal Marines Commando wanted to go alcohol free to raise money for the charity that paid for his cancer treatment, which saved his life!
Jon wanted a challenge that would really push him and test his determination but couldn’t find anything that that he believed really did that, so he created his own! His challenge was to go alcohol free for 32 weeks, why 32 weeks, well that’s the time it takes to train a Royal Marines Commando.
Expecting this challenge to be nothing more than depravation of something he thought he enjoyed for a period of time; to raise money for an amazing cause little did he know of the amazing journey ahead of him!
Word spread of Jon’s challenge and the sponsorship money came in. With the aid of an alcohol-free community, made up of wonderful people who wanted to truly celebrate his journey, they supported him through highs, lows, including life changing events like his wife being diagnosed with cancer and more. Jon successfully completed his challenge.
Keen to continue to find ways to help raise money for Charity and passionately believing that everyone should experience sobriety at least once in their adult life and enjoy all the benefits that come with it Don’t Drink Challenge was born.
Jon says ‘So many charities can benefit, and we want to support everyone through this challenge..... It can be hard, but at the same time it is so rewarding, in ways that you will never have imagined’
