Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My motivation to run a half marathon for Shelter stems from reading about inequality growing in the UK, exacerbated by Covid 19, causing housing related issues. You only have to walk through our main city's to see that housing is a national crisis.

Here are some statistics (England and Scotland):

1. 6 million households are denied the right to a safe home or are threatened of losing it

2. 4,750 people sleep on the streets on any given night

3. 90,000 households are stuck in temporary accommodation. This is a rise of 38% in the last 5 years.

NOT having a safe warm home has a knock on effect on quality of life. 

Imagine what life would be like if you were to lose your home or if you had poor quality housing. 

This thought will keep me running till I achieve my mission of completing the half marathon on 17th October.
