I am running the London Marathon for the Salvation Army and for my sister, Laura who sadly passed away this September to suicide.

My sister spent her time going to church and helping others whenever she could, and I know I will be making her proud by helping this amazing charity with the work they do and by taking her around London one more time.

Please give whatever you can to get us to that start line, I really do appreciate your help.

Thank you ❤️

We provide specialist support for all survivors of modern slavery in England and Wales. Our confidential Referral Helpline 0800 808 3733 is available 24/7.

Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking in the UK

Centuries after slavery was officially abolished, thousands of people are still being exploited and sold into slave-like conditions across the UK. They can be forced to work in the sex trade or domestic settings, used as domestic slaves, exploited for labour or criminal activity, or have their organs removed to be sold.

Those trafficked into the UK often are often unable to speak English, have their travel and identity documents removed, and are told that if they try to attempt an escape, they or their families will be harmed.
