I'm running my first race in May (I got talked into it), and decided that it is the perfect opportunity to get involved in anti-FGM work - something I've been wanting to do for while. If I can do the tiniest bit to make a difference to someone's life and the advancement of women's rights, then I'll feel like I've accomplished more than running 5K. Plus, if I break my ankle or pass out (likely) then at least some good will come of this. Anything you can/want to give will be massively appreciated and very nice of you. If you want to find out more about FGM and FORWARD's work, then go to www.forwarduk.org.uk/.
