On May 18th I will be running the Hackney Half Marathon. I have joined #TeamRedCross to ensure that they can help anyone, anywhere in the UK and around the world, get the support they need if crisis strikes.

Every pound donated will make a huge difference to help those affected by crisis:

£5 could provide a community in Bangladesh with training on water sanitation and hygiene, helping people keep themselves healthy after a disaster.

£12 could buy a hygiene pack for a refugee or person seeking asylum in the UK, giving them access to some of the basics no one should go without.

£20 could give a parent in the UK the essential items they need to care for a newborn baby, when they have lost everything due to flooding.

£50 could help a family in Nigeria prepare for when severe flooding hits again.

£75 could keep 150 survivors of a fire at a block of flats in the UK warm, while we support them to find emergency accommodation for the night.

Any donation you can give would be much appreciated!
