I'm running the Berlin Marathon in September to raise money for the British Red Cross. 

The Red Cross have been so busy this year helping communities cope with natural disasters, reuniting families separated by natural disaster and war. They also provide much needed health and social care for elderly and disabled people and practical and emotional support for refugees. Helping individuals and communities throughout the World who really need support.

To continue their great work they need help with funding, which is where I come in! I have mild asthma and an orthopaedic shoe prescription so reckon this is gonna be my biggest challenge yet. Any donation will be so gratefully received no matter how small! I also accept emotional support and encouragment. Thank you very much for your contribution it really means a lot to me and to The British Red Cross Society.

Peace + Love

The science bit- 'Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.'
