Did you know the number of people counted sleeping rough sleeping is up by 26%?*

Did you know 94% of people rough sleeping have experienced trauma?

When I started working at Jimmy's in early 2023 I probably had some serious misconceptions about people experiencing homelessess. Working alongside the amazing team here has helped me understand that any one of us could end up homeless given the 'right' circumstances.

For those who do find themselves rough sleeping, it is imperative the support is there to help get them into safe and supported housing.

Whilst I always thought I'd do a half marathon at some stage it has never happened, so when the opportunity arose to sign up to the Cambridge Half for Jimmy's I jumped at it with both hands (well, perhaps spontaneously said I'd do it and then regretted it later is a better description!). But, I've been really committed to my training and, can I say, I'm almost looking forward to it! Plus, if you donate now that'll give me even more impetus to complete it!

Thank you so much in advance!!
