It may be madness, but on April 27th 2025 (my 52nd birthday!) I shall be running the London Marathon. It will be my first ever marathon and I've chosen a to run it for Barnardos.

I have received direct help from Barnardos as they have helped my daughter Dana to navigate the tricky world of reconnecting with birth family after adoption. Helen from Barnardos couldn't have been more supportive and helpful to us as a family. Funnily enough I worked at a Barnardos charity shop as a teenager and am now seeing first hand how much they are committed to supporting the young people they look after.

Barnardo's helps hundreds of thousands of children, young people, parents and carers across the UK. They don't abandon children because of who they are or what they've done. They listen to them, fight for their rights and do whatever it takes to protect and support them because they believe that all children have the right to a happy and healthy life.

Anything you can donate would be super gratefully received.

Thank you so much!
