London Landmarks Half Marathon 2021 · 1 August 2021 ·
So I've signed up for a half marathon and can barely run 3 miles....
I have less than three months and can barely run 3 miles...
All of course, for a charity who provide an absolute lifeline to young people who find themselves facing homelessness.
Centrepoint provides homeless young people with safe and stable accommodation whilst also providing essential support with physical and mental health issues, building independent living skills and accessing education, employment and training opportunities.
Young people can be faced with homelessness for a huge number of reasons, no young person would choose to sleep rough or sofa-surf unless it was the safer or only option. Centrepoint provide a life-line to those who have nowhere else. A warm and stable home is the first step but the wraparound support service that Centrepoint provide helps young people to thrive.
A warm, stable and safe place to live is a basic human necessity. I shouldn't even be writing this spiel to be asking you to donate but the reality is that 103,000 young people in England alone were faced with homelessness last year and that figure is rising. So please donate anything you can. £15 could provide a bed and support for a young person - that's practically 2 cocktails in Be At One's Happy Hour (okay Mollie Stockhill it's an extra fiver)....
Me being able to run 13.1 miles in March is incomparable to what these young people are facing.
However, it will be flippin hard so your kind donations will spur me on through the inevitable pulled hamstrings or whatever happens when you run a lot xoxoxox
