Fundraising for TRIBE Freedom Foundation
Thank you for taking time to visit my page. I am raising
money to help combat modern slavery and end human trafficking.
There are an estimated 136,000 people living in slavery
in the UK. That’s more than two victims for every thousand people in the
country. This needs to stop. TRIBE Freedom Foundation was inspired by a 1,000
mile run from Odessa to Dubrovnik to fight human trafficking and establish the
first UK home for trafficked children. This was the first Run for Love. Run for
Love 3 is the third in the epic RFL trilogy. It will bring over 500 runners
together to push the limits of human endurance to fight modern slavery and end
human trafficking. Our aim is to raise £250K to raise awareness of trafficking
and support the survivors of modern slavery. We are supporting two of the most
innovative and impactful frontline anti-slavery projects: Ellas Home - an
East-London safe-house providing rehabilitation, accommodation, and support for
women exiting situations of trafficking and exploitation. Snowdrop - a
Sheffield-based charity providing outstanding long-term follow-on support for
survivors.
In November I will be taking part in the Run for Love 3
where I will be attempting to run (walk/crawl) just over 250km around the
beautiful São Miguel Island in
the Azores. Not only is the distance crazy, but there is
also around 13,400m of ascent, which is roughly the equivalent of Mount Everest
1.5 times. This will be a culmination of a yearlong personal journey where I
started running to lose weight and gain some fitness. Over this time I have
lost around 25kg, ran my first half road marathon, half trail marathon, full
road marathon and trail marathon.
Still to come as part of the training before the Azores I
will running the Rat Race ultra-tour of Edinburgh on the 20th of
October and also a two day run from London to Brighton on the 2nd-3rd
of November in preparation.
Please note that all of your donation will be going to Ellas
Home and Snowdrop, I will be covering all of my own expenses.
