Dear Friends and Supporters
Thank you for taking the time to visit my fundraising page.
Some of you will perhaps know a little about why I took up running, some 9 years ago. It is fair to say that running has, beyond doubt, gotten me through the very worst of times.
Having been on the bucket list for many years, I was very privileged to gain a place to run the London Marathon in October 2022. It was the absolute experience of a lifetime and the memories will remain with me forever.
I am feeling beyond lucky to again have been selected for a place in this year's London Marathon, by my running club, JH Running 🤩
I have again chosen to fundraise for Refuge, a charity which is very close to my heart. I hope to be able to raise vital funds so Refuge can continue to provide life changing support to women and children affected by domestic abuse.
One woman in four will experience domestic violence at some point in her lifetime, and two women are killed each week in England and Wales by a current or former partner.
Refuge supports around 6,000 women & children on any given day, experiencing domestic & sexual abuse, female genital mutilation, forced marriage, stalking, trafficking, prostitution & so-called ‘honour’ based violence.
By kindly sponsoring me today you are helping to save and change the lives of thousands of women and children escaping domestic abuse.
Thank you.
