I am running the Great North Run this year to raise money for FODI, a Sunderland-based charity who support the mental health and well-being of asylum-seekers and refugees.

We see people who have been forced to flee their homes and are living in limbo, without support or a place to call home. FODI aims to give people a chance to be active members of their communities again. In doing so, FODI hope to lessen their social isolation and promote integration into the wider communitty.

Even a small donation will help support this worthwhile charity!

For more information on FODI, and the great work they do, please see the below weblink.
