Story
In the U.K.:
🛑 2 women a week are killed by a current or former partner
🛑 1 in 4 women will experience domestic abuse in their life time
🛑 90% of domestic abuse in a family household happens in the presence of a child
🛑 And every 30 seconds the police receive a call relating to domestic abuse
❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌
Just a few of the heartbreaking facts around domestic abuse of women and children in the U.K.
As a woman and now a mum of two little girls these chill me to the core
🏃🏻♀️ The London marathon has always been on my bucket list and after running the Gran Canaria marathon in November last year at a much slower pace than I planned to (it was flipping hot!)
I have some unfinished marathon business
This will be my 4th (and final 🤪) marathon - a few weeks after I turn 40 - which feels very appropriate
And I am so happy to be able to support the incredible work that Refuge do, by doing so
My goal is to raise £2000
£52 provides safe accommodation for 1 night for a woman and her child
🥰 With your help - we can help them provide over 38 nights 🥰
Thank you for all your support - big and small - every single penny makes a difference
