This year, I'm stretching myself from the odd Saturday morning Parkrun to take on three half marathon events while making a positive impact for those who need it the most. That's why I have joined #TeamRedCross in participating in the Great North Run this year - and I need your help!

The past couple years have been unlike any other for global crises. The British Red Cross currently have appeals to help lives specifically affected by emergencies in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Ukraine, Libya, Afghanistan, Turkey-Syria, Somalia, Pakistan, Yemen, and Syria.

No donation is too small. Your contribution will go the extra mile in providing emergency aid, supporting refugees, and helping families rebuild after disasters. Please join me in supporting The British Red Cross today!

How Your Donation Could Help:

• £5 could provide a community in Bangladesh with training on water sanitation and hygiene, helping people keep themselves healthy after a disaster.
• £12 could buy a hygiene pack for a refugee or person seeking asylum in the UK, giving them access to some of the basics no one should go without.
• £20 could give a parent in the UK the essential items they need to care for a newborn baby, when they have lost everything due to flooding.
• £50 could help a family in Nigeria prepare for when severe flooding hits again.
• £75 could keep 150 survivors of a fire at a block of flats in the UK warm, while we support them to find emergency accommodation for the night.

Thank you for supporting this cause!
