Violet Berlin is raising money for Rise
Story
Please sponsor me to run the 8K Undercliff Run. I've never done anything like this before. When I started training in March, I couldn't run for 100 metres before going bright red and coming out in a rash. Now I can get to 2000 metres before the prickly heat sets in so things are looking up :)
The sponsorship money could save lives — 2 women a week are murdered by the men they love(d). That's not some figure from the Victorian age but 2015 figure from the Office of National Statistics.
RISE helps women affected by domestic abuse and their families too. For instance, £20 will help get school uniforms for children who turn up at refuge with just the clothes on their backs. I remember when my mum ran away from my own violent father she only had time to grab one suitcase between her, me and my three sisters, so even an amount like this would have really helped us.
The run takes place in October — it is scenic path along the seashore, alongside Sussex’s famous chalk cliffs, from Saltdean towards Brighton and back, so if you're a runner yourself why not register too and join me? They also do relay races for a team of 4 doing 2K each.
I'm hugely grateful for your support and I promise I will let you know how me and my heat rash get on.
