Story

I am doing my own fundraising for Refuge, the UK's largest charity supporting women and children escaping domestic abuse, because I have hope that there can be something better for us all. 

I have decided to give myself a real physical challenge, as well as being able to raise money, I hope to raise some awareness!

1 in 4 women will experience domestic abuse in their lifetime and 5 women a week lose their lives. Violence on women has been growing, and most women who are murdered or sexually assaulted know their perpetrator. 

 On any given day, Refuge support over 7,000 women and children to rebuild their lives, which is not only amazing but shouldn't have to be happening. Every pound I raise will really make a difference so I hope you will join me in supporting Refuge to continue the fight to end domestic abuse.
