Story

Currently living in London, on May 8th, I am running a half marathon in Lisbon! Leading up to the race, I am fundraising for The Starfish Project within Bede House local charity, where I worked in the Spring of 2020. The Starfish Project is committed to combatting domestic abuse in London. 

Free of charge, Bede offers services such as risk-assessments, safety planning, counseling, legal aid, and support groups for impacted individuals. With these resources, The Starfish Project is helping individuals and their families find safety. Importantly, low-income and minority communities most often access Bede's resources.   

During my time working on The Starfish Project, I witnessed the resilience of clients and the life-changing outcomes of Bede's support and prevention efforts. However, this project is perpetually underfunded.

Help me reach my fundraising goal of $1,500. If I reach this goal,  my company will generously match the donation! 100% of donations go directly to Bede.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast, and secure. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
