Can you do it?

The 28-Day Sober-Free Challenge (TM) has been running since midnight and will continue throughout the month of February. Many have decided to take up the challenge, others are still wondering if they would be able to. In less than 10 years, the 28 Days Without Alcohol Challenge™ has become a significant movement and has been propelled into the heart of the collective consciousness by raising funds for the prevention of drug addiction among young people. The 28 Days Without Alcohol Challenge was created by the Jean Lapointe Foundation, which believes that it is all the more important in these difficult times to talk about mental health and addictions. The campaign aims to raise $1.5 million to prevent addiction-related risks among young people. The 2023 Alcohol Free Challenge has two spokespersons: Jean-Michel Anctil et Anouk Meunier (Photo). Last year, the Alcohol-Free Challenge brought together more than 33,000 participants. Information : https://www.defi28jours.com
