Story
Thank you for visiting my Justgiving page!
I am currently in prep for the London 10K on 8th July, to fundraise for the Diana Awards. This is a charity that is very close to my heart, as a young carer and voluntary worker the awards gave me the recognition and support I needed to achieve my goals.
Interning with them over the past six months has highlighted the fantastic work they recognise and support, from incredible young people who are merely doing it because of their compassion and dedication to others. In the current economic climate the internships and opportunities they provide for young people is now invaluable.
As well as supporting young people across the UK, the awards have extended to celebrate and support inspirational young people internationally. Recently an award holder from Jamaica has been recognised for his incredible community work and will now be able to attend University on a scholarship provided through his award, something he could have only dreamed of.
As some people might know in the past I have completed larger distances but due to some nasty injuries in training, this will be my first considerable distance on my return running. So it will be a great personal achievement to complete (without destroying my knees/foot/calf)!
Please take a moment to donate what you can any funds raised are going to help a brilliant scheme provide support to fantastic young people not only in the UK but internationally. Just think what that frappuccino/pint/magazine price could add up to :-)
