No more Pepsi or coke!

By Erin Kalka

I have chosen to make a difference

I have chosen to Give it Up for Breast Cancer. By taking part, I am challenging myself to go without for one month. 

I want a world where there are ZERO deaths from breast cancer. I believe every death from breast cancer is one too many. To achieve this, I’m raising funds for more research. All donations made to this page will help do exactly that. 

Click 'Donate' to make a secure online donation and help me reach my goal. Every donation, big or small, will help me get there. Please donate today.

All donations over $2 are tax-deductible and you will be issued with a tax-deductible receipt via email as soon as you make your donation.

Thank you so much for your support!

Month complete

Monday 1st Feb
Hello fellow Wally Watchers
For those playing along at home I have now completed a month of not drinking Coke or Pepsi, I am amazed I completed it, but after throwing out the whole slap me if you see me drinking it option I really had to finish what I started, especially when my good friend reminded me at a BBQ (thanks Kasey!)
I feel I’ve definitely kicked my addiction and found a whole variety of other sugar free drinks!
With your help I raised $354, it’s way more than I thought would be raised and I’m so thankful to those of you who donated, it is not too late, you can donate anytime, if you can’t afford to donate why don’t you jump on board a fundraising drive?
Peace out, I’m off to have a can of Pepsi Max.... kidding!

Day 16

Saturday 16th Jan
Well I’m happy to report I still have not had any cola products for 16 days now, that might not seem like a big deal, but to me it is a BIG DEAL!! I didn’t even have a sip of Ben’s bourbon because he had mixed it with coke.
I prefer to drink sugar free drinks and always went with the easy option of Coke Zero or Pepsi Max, but have since discovered there is also no sugar solo, sunkist and lemonade which is available now at work.... WINNING!
15 days to go...

Day 7

Thursday 7th Jan
Wowwweeeee I really didn’t think I’d last this long, and it’s actually not so bad, hopefully this is me forming some new better habits.
Thank you so much for all the donations, I’m nearly to my target which is amazing, this is going to help so many women

Day 5

Tuesday 5th Jan
I had my work party last night, usually my go to hangover cure is panadol and a coke (or 3) luckily I wasn’t hungover this morning but I was still craving a coke for a pick me up, managed to get through without it... 26 days to go!

Day 3

Monday 4th Jan
Day 3 of my challenge, I’ve been very tempted to have a sneaky can, we still have it in the fridge, but so far I’ve managed to stick to my plan, even with the headaches 
I’d really love your support, a few bucks can help so many women 

Why am I doing this??

Friday 1st Jan
So I have a massive problem with coke and Pepsi Max, I drink it everyday, I know it’s no good for me but I do it anyway., my reasoning to myself is that I don’t drink coffee and rarely drink alcohol so this is my thing. When I saw this campaign I thought it was a great challenge to myself to stop drinking it and helping people like my wee mum who is a breast cancer survivor!
If you have a few bucks spare please donate what you can, and if you see me drinking Pepsi or coke, slap me!

Thank you to my Supporters
