Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 10th May I will be running 13 miles taking in the sights of Hackney, including a lap around the Olympic Park, in the hope of raising money for Shelter 

Shelter support people who are affected by homelessness and bad housing.  Homelessness is on the rise across the UK and is a particular issue in London.  The City of Westminster, which includes Paddington where I work, has some of the highest rates of homelessness in the country.  Over the last 4 years that I have worked there the problem has got noticeably worse.  I can't imagine how hopeless it must feel to be without a home.  Every day as I leave work I feel so grateful that I have a home to go to and wish I could do more to help people that aren't so lucky.  

So, if you could spare any pennies or pounds to sponsor me and support a worthy cause I would be so grateful.  I am not a natural athlete and the months of training have been a hard slog and pretty dull.  Your sponsorship will keep me going through my last weeks of training and spur me on around the course on the day!
