Hi everyone,

This May, I’ll be running the Hackney Half Marathon (21k!) and raising £250 for the Hackney Night Shelter.

I’ve had the privilege of volunteering with homeless shelters and witnessing firsthand the profound impact they have on people’s lives. From providing shelter and meals to creating opportunities for individuals to rebuild their lives.

I chose the Hackney Night Shelter because it’s rooted in Hackney, the area I call home. Supporting a local cause feels especially meaningful, as I see the challenges faced by people in my community every day and know the difference this charity makes.

The Hackney Night Shelter has worked with the local community to provide support to people experiencing homelessness for over 25 years. They provide emergency shelter and hot meals with structured individual plans to assist their guests to move into longer term accommodation.

Find more information on their website:

Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward helping people in need. If you’d like to support my run and this great cause, donating here!

Thank you for your support!

Cheers,

Lucia
