Hi folks! My name is Dee and I use They/Them pronouns. 

I will be aiming to run/jog 100 miles from 1st July 2021 until the 31st August 2021 in order to support the brilliant work undertaken by Chrysalis. 

Chrysalis works throughout the South Coast region with transgender individuals and their significant others, in a variety of ways, to ensure that people who are exploring their gender identity are provided with the help and support they need. One of their organisational key strategic aims is to reduce isolation and marginalisation of people with gender identity issues by providing support and advice, in order for them to be better placed to participate in mainstream society. They help build connections by working with local volunteers, agencies, and counsellors to provide a breadth of support; life-skills, workshops, and facilitated groups, alongside offering peer support. Chrysalis provides training to local businesses, individuals and community groups, to aid understanding in the general population about the difficulties trans people face and to ensure they are not excluded as well as assisting with advocacy, when necessary.

Please help support their work by sponsoring my miles in the next few months! :) I've connected this fundraiser to my Strava to update this regularly and will be doing my miles through both treadmill and outdoor running. 

Thanks so much in advance for any support, it means the world! <3
