Story

I am going to be running the London Marathon in april for the fantastic charity - Christian Aid. I’m so grateful for this opportunity to not only take part in the marathon, but run for a charity that has and continues to do amazing things in the UK and around the world. 

It turns out that 26 miles is actually quite a long way so any encouragement you can give me through your sponsorship will be amazing! I will try and post updates of my training on here and on Instagram so give me a follow see how i’m getting on!

For over 70 years Christian Aid has been working with people across the world, of all faiths and none, to end poverty. 

Poverty is an outrage against humanity. It robs people of their dignity and lets injustice thrive. But together we have the power to transform lives. For over 70 years, we’ve been standing with the poorest of our neighbours. We work in 37 countries, with people of all faiths and none, to stand up for dignity, equality and justice. We stand together with our global neighbours. Together we can create a world where everyone can live.

Christian Aid also campaign against the structures that hold up inequalities. From Tax Justice to Climate Change, Christin Aid have been at the forefront of major campaigns that have seen attitudes, laws and lives changed. 

Funds raised through this page will go towards the incredible work Christian Aid and their partners do to bring equality, dignity and justice to all people.
