Hi everyone!

I am participating in the Hackney Half Marathon 2024 to raise funds for The Felix Project, a non-profit organisation dedicated to tackling food waste and poverty.

In the UK, almost 10 million tonnes of food are wasted annually, while 400 thousand children and 1.4 million adults in London are food insecure. It's heartbreaking to know that 50% of young single mums skip meals so their children can eat. With the cost of living increasing, these statistics are likely to worsen.

The Felix Project is on a mission to fight this problem by rescuing good, surplus food from the food industry that cannot be sold and would otherwise go to waste. They deliver this food to almost 1000 front-line charities, primary schools and holiday programmes in London. That way, food that would have gone to waste is reaching vulnerable people, homeless, people with mental health or those who simply cannot afford to buy regular, healthy food.

Every penny raised will stop good food from being wasted and get it to Londoners in need - including children & families, the homeless, the elderly, domestic violence survivors, refugees and more.

Join me in this cause by supporting my fundraising efforts for the Hackney Half Marathon 2024! We can make a real difference in the lives of those who need it most.

Thank you! Danielle x
