Event: Bath Half Marathon 2022, on 16 October 2022
The need for SARSAS services is as high now as they were at the peak of the pandemic. Waiting times are at an all time high and we desperately need more funds to help support the people who are waiting to be called in for support.

Story

On 16 October I will be running the Bath Half (along side my fabulous friend Becka) in Aid of Somerset and Avon Rape and Sexual Abuse Support. Running brings me great joy, and to run for SARSAS would be extremely special, but more importantly I am hopeful that it will raise money to help support victims of sexual violence. SARSAS exists to listen, believe and support. They provide confidential services such as helplines, email support, group work, counselling and art therapy. Any donations, no matter how big or small, would be greatly appreciated. Your donation would help reduce the waiting period for support. 

Growing up in South Africa, you become accustomed to hearing the horror stories. I have multiple friends who have had unthinkable things happen to them, and I realise nothing can erase sexual violence, but I do hope that this can help somebody. 

Running life’s race for His glory.
