Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In April 2019, I will be running my first (and most likely only!) marathon to raise money for Centrepoint. This combines a long held personal ambition to run the London Marathon with raising money for a cause Chris and I have supported for over 15 years.

Centrepoint focus on helping young homeless people, who's issues and needs are different from adults. They can find themselves in this position because it is no longer safe to stay at home or family life has become too hard. I find it extremely difficult to think of young people having to sleep on the streets or sofa surf without the security of the home and family we all have ourselves. You can easily take for granted the advantages a stable home life provides to someone. I want to do my bit to make sure young homeless people get the support and help they need to get a roof over their head, life skills and help into education or work - over 86% of the people Centrepoint help achieve this so your money is going to a fantastic cause.

Thank you so much for your donations, Gillian x
