Story
I have decided to take part in the #BigMarathonMonth to support the work of Emmaus and will complete 26.2 miles throughout the month of June!
Emmaus supports formerly homeless people by providing a home, and meaningful work in one of their social enterprises. This meaningful work helps restore the self-esteem that is often lost when a person becomes homeless.
There are currently 29 communities across the UK supporting over 800 formerly homeless people, known as companions. There are also five Emmaus groups working hard to set up an Emmaus community in their local area.
Please donate as much as you can to my #BigMarathonMonth fundraiser and help me raise as much as I can for Emmaus!

Emmaus provides a lasting solution to homelessness by offering formerly homeless people a safe home, work experience, training and tailored support.
Residents engage in a variety of roles within a social enterprise, whilst receiving the support they need to move on from homelessness and thrive.
