Story

HI!👋

'I cannot express strongly enough just what a relief it was to be heard and for my situation to be more fully understood. I could have ended up homeless if it wasn’t for the support to find a way through the situation.' ❤️❤️

— Janet

Last year, Shelter and their amazing work helped millions of people like Janet 🏠👩

I'm going to be taking on a marathon in support of the HSBC x Shelter partnership. 🏃💨

Home is a human right. It's our foundation and it's where we thrive. Yet, every day millions of people are being devastated by the housing emergency.

Shelter is an incredible charity that helps people in need at a crucial time and also works to address underlying, systemic issues

Shelter exist to defend the right to a safe home. Because home is everything

They work in communities to understand the problem and change the system. And run national campaigns to fight for change at the very top!

As part of a team of colleagues, collectively we will run more than 360 miles to raise an incredible £25,000 for our partnership and the shared belief that everyone should have a safe and happy home.

Having recently recovered from Kidney surgery, My Goal for 2024 was to take my health and fitness more seriously. Anyone who knows me knows I'm a 'slowww' kind of person. More likely to be 'jogging' my memory than actually jogging. However I love challenging myself and have always wanted to run a marathon (26.2 miles). I am currently putting my heart and SOLE into training. 👟

Thanks to my amazing workplace they pledge to double the overall donation total up to £500. So my overall goal is £600.00 which would be 1100.00 all together (fantastic maths... 🧮🤓) But aim for moon and land on the stars! ✨

I appreciate the RCOL has made things hard for many so any donation would be appreciated and a share would be RUNderful. Thank you 🙂
