  Reduce The Risk is a 5-year campaign to assist people in making better choices to improve their health - getting more exercise, cutting down on drinking, quitting smoking and eating healthier.Since my father died from Lung Cancer in 1998, I have attended public speaking conferences in London for the cause where I shared my own personal story. I also help to fundraise for the cause through events, and later assisted through volunteering as an Events Assistant.
