I have worked for Circle for 10 and a half years and have seen the difference that the organisation makes to the lives of children and families affected by poverty, social injustice and health inequalities. I want Circle to be able to continue to improve the lives of children by strengthening families. Raising funds by taking part in DARED, for the fourth year in a row, is one way that I can help.

Alongside colleagues, friends and family, I have committed to Do A Run Every Day in June. This year, due to a persistent knee injury, the 5k option was too much, so I'm going for the 1 mile option instead, though I will do more as and when I can.

My sister, Jude Hogg, is also taking part and we hope to be able to run a few runs together throughout the month.

All donations will be gratefully received and will help Circle to continue their vital work. Thank you!
