I am running the Reading half marathon (April 13th) to raise money for Starting Point, a charity that helps young people overcome barriers to education. I am passionate about this cause, and I believe that every young person deserves access to quality education.

Starting Point provides one-to-one mentoring and alternative provisions for young people in Reading who are on the edge of education or at risk of exclusion. Starting Point is one of Deloitte's (my employer) charity partners as part of the 5 Million Futures programme.

Every donation that I raise for Starting Point will be matched by Deloitte, which means that your contribution will go even further in supporting young people and making a significant difference in their lives.

Thank you so much for your donation!
