I have never been a runner but wanted to challenge myself so I have signed up to Hackney Half Marathon to raise money for Refuge.

Please donate to this amazing cause, each donation helps me keep motivated through all the kilometers I have to run each week as part of my training!

One woman in four will experience domestic abuse at some point in her lifetime and on average two women are killed each week in England and Wales by a current or former partner.

Refuge is the largest single provider of specialist services to survivors of domestic, sexual and gender-based abuse and runs the freephone, 24-hour National Domestic Abuse Helpline that provides the first step to women escaping abuse. 

 By kindly sponsoring me today you are helping to save and change the lives of thousands of women and their children. Thank you.
