Hi everyone, and thank you for visiting my page!

In 2022 I will be taking part in the London Marathon, running for Childhood First. Leading up to the main event, I will be using this page for all of my fundraising efforts. So please keep your eyes peeled for any other events or challenges I sign up for, and donate wherever you can!

Childhood First provides therapeutic support, residential care and a national curriculum education to children who have suffered early life trauma. Through their work, children are given a lifeline, a chance to heal and to understand their trauma; whilst helping them go on successfully to employment, further education or university. 

Children who have experienced neglect, physical and emotional abuse in their early years will often grow up to develop severe attachment, behavioural, conduct or eating disorders; with no escape, many also experiencing self-harm and/or suicidal thoughts.

I've always wanted to run the London Marathon, so once I was training more seriously, I started researching children's charities in the UK that I could potentially support. I found myself reading about the work of Childhood First, and their mission really resonated with me, so I knew I'd found my cause.

With all of your support, we can help Childhood First continue to provide this lifeline to so many children, who would otherwise have no one.

Thank you in advance for your support!
