Story

Thanks for your support with my London Marathon JustGiving challenge!
My page donations will be sent direct to the charity in a fast and secure way. Its efficient, saves time and cuts costs for the charity. Let's do this!

My story is not tragic or inspirational.  I am not a victim of domestic abuse.  I live with my family in a loving, warm, supportive environment. When I hear my husbands key in the door, I smile,  I love him coming home.  I want everybody to live like that.

 I would love any money raised by my supporters to help empower those who are experiencing a really difficult, abusive home life with support and knowledge to change their situation, for safe houses and staff, for a phone helpline, for school uniform for kids who have had to move areas.  The list is endless.

Living your everyday in fear ......  I can't imagine.

I tell my kids, if they want something in life they have to work for it.  So, I've got a training plan, I've laced up my trainers and began what for me is physically challenging.  I have to work hard to get this bod ready to complete 26.2 Miles....

Please help me to help Refuge.  Thank you.
