Shalina is running 62 miles in March for Refuge 🏃🏽♀️
Shalina Akhtar is raising money for Refuge
Story
I am running 62 miles for Refuge because I believe every woman and child has the right to live safely and free from abuse. Instead of walking, I will run 2 miles (3.22 km) every day in March to support this life saving charity.
1. One in four women will experience domestic abuse at some point in their lifetime.
2. On average one woman is killed every 5 days in England and Wales by a current or former partner.
3. It takes, on average, 7 attempts before a woman is able to leave for good.
Refuge is the largest single provider of specialist services to survivors of domestic, sexual and gender-based abuse and runs the freephone, 24-hour National Domestic Abuse Helpline that provides the first step to women escaping abuse.
By kindly sponsoring me today you are helping to save and change the lives of thousands of women and their children. Every donation (big or small) can make a huge difference. Love Shalina ❤️
