Story
Becky, Jamie and Simba are running the Virgin London Marathon on 3 October 2021. They'll be among 50,000 people around the world running the event virtually - set to be a new Guinness World Record. All money raised will support the work of Ella's.
Our runners
Please get behind Becky, Jamie and Simba as they take on this massive challenge for Ella's! Becky stepped in for original team member Alex a few months ago, who had to withdraw for health reasons. And Jamie joined just two weeks ahead of the marathon, taking the place of Dan who picked up an injury during training. They are great people, going to great lengths to raise money for Ella's, and we are so thankful. Please sponsor them today. Every pound will make a difference.
About Ella's
Ella's is a London-based organisation providing urgent safe house accommodation and long-term, community-based support for women who've survived trafficking and exploitation. With this support, survivors can recover from their experiences and build safe lives. Without it, many would fall back into danger. For more, watch this short film:
The need for the work of Ella's is urgent, vast and growing. Around the world, 40.3 million people are trapped in modern slavery. And of those trafficked, more than 70% are women and girls.
Please donate what you can, to encourage our amazing runners, and to provide crucial support for some of London's most vulnerable women. Every donation will make a difference. Thank you so much for your support.
