Hello everybody :)

Thank you for taking the time to visit my Just Giving Page.

I'm supporting Welsh Women's Aid by running in aid of them at the Cardiff Half Marathon on Sunday 6th October 2024.

1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 children in Wales will experience abuse and violence at some point. This includes sexual violence, coercive controlling behaviour, forced marriage, sexual exploitation, female genital mutilation, stalking or harassment. Welsh Women's Aid work to make sure that everyone impacted by abuse can access vital lifesaving and life changing services, and with your help they can continue this support.

They make sure survivors and their families are offered practical help, advocacy, counselling and support in a crisis and longer term. Violence against women and girls affects us all and is everybody's business; everyone has the right to live free from fear and abuse. Help us end domestic and sexual abuse in our lifetime by supporting my fundraising page.

In addition to this, I have recently worked alongside Criminal Injuries Helpline by helping to raise awareness on the support that they can also offer those who have experience this kind of abuse.

I would be extremely grateful to anyone who can support me (I am going to need a lot of it to get me over that finish line!!) and donate anything that they can spare to a charity close to my heart.

Thank you and big love to everyone
