Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

So this year I have decided it's time to get fit and play around in some mud!  As such I am embarking on the Summer Wolf Run (a 10K muddy run with obstacles!) and to motivate me I have roped in 8 of my besties and we're all doing it to raise money for a very worthy local cause – The Y (Leicester YMCA).


The Y works with the most disadvantaged 16-25yr olds providing them with much needed and safe accommodation away from negative influences and supports them to rebuild their lives so that they can become independent young adults with positive futures.

As you will be aware the current changes to welfare support are leaving our young adults in a very vulnerable position and fundraising efforts like this are vital to ensure that The Y can continue to help stop more young people becoming homeless and support them in making the important and difficult transition from childhood to adulthood.

So please help me by sharing this information and raising the profile of this important local charity organisation and where possible pledging some money no matter how small or big. 

Every penny counts and makes a huge difference in changing the lives of homeless and vulnerable young people in Leicester and Leicestershire.

Thank you!

Joanna
