Story
I’m running the Paris Marathon on 14 April for Streetsmart, a fantastic charity that raises money to help homeless and vulnerable people across the UK, and the charities that support them.
I’ve known Streetsmart for over eight years as the charity I work for, Forward Thinking, share office space with them. They support amazing organisations throughout the country.
Your donation won’t only keep me going when it gets tough and my body tires, but will also go towards organisations like The Running Charity, an inspiring initiative which receives grants from Streetsmart. The Running Charity uses running to build resilience, confidence and self-esteem to improve the lives of 16-25 year-olds who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
At least 83,000 young people in the UK are homeless right now and are particularly vulnerable: they are twice as likely to die as their non-homeless peers and their experience can stick with them for the rest of their lives.
The Running Charity says: “We know that running builds the fitness and goal-setting mentality that are key tools to help these young people to build healthy, sustainable futures. And develop and deliver personalised programmes to support some of the most vulnerable young people in London and Manchester.“
Thank you for your support!
