Hi,

On the 6th October I'll be running the Cardiff Half Marathon to raise funds for Women's Aid, an organisation dedicated to supporting women affected by domestic abuse. This cause is deeply personal to my partner and me.

When it comes to domestic abuse such as psychological and emotional, many public services do not have the relevant training and understanding to help support women who really need it, and I’ve seen first hand how women can be let down by these services. Women’s Aid have been crucial in providing guidance, advice, ongoing support and validation of the abuse suffered. We have seen first hand the crucial role these charities play in offering refuge and support to women in need. It's a shame that such organisations must exist, but their work is essential in providing safety, counseling, and the opportunity for a new start. By contributing to this campaign, you can help empower women to escape the cycle of abuse and rebuild their lives. Please join me in supporting this vital cause.

Thank you,

Rob
