Story

Hi Guys, thank you for visiting my page!

I am a 25 year old French American currently working and living in London and I am REALLY excited to be running the London Marathon.

This is my FIRST fundraising campaign and I really hope that I can make an impact with YOUR support, for this great cause!

As someone who is passionate about sports, and equally enthusiastic about supporting charities, I am very much looking forward to the opportunity of raising awareness for Providence Row.

Providence Row tackles the root causes of homelessness in London, and adds significant value to the people most in need. Providence Row works with over 1200 homeless and vulnerably housed people a year in East London, offering an integrated service of crisis support, advice, recovery and learning and training programmes.  

To give a concrete example of how the money  helps:

      -       £100 could cover the cost of breakfast and a hot shower for 20 rough sleepers each day.

      -       £250 could go towards providing advice and support with housing and benefits for rough sleepers.


     -       £500 could cover the costs of outdoor training sessions, like cycling and football, where people can learn about team work and managing their stress, anger and anxiety.


      -       £1,000 could go towards the costs of mental health or substance misuse workshops where people learn, understand and tackle the barriers to change. 


      -       £5,000 could contribute to the running of employment workshops for four months, which would support over 80 people.


      Every donation however large or small CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.


      Having already completed a number of races, including the Paris Marathon, I am setting myself a new challenge to BEAT my previous 3hrs 28mins personal best for a 26.2 mile race ! 

  

      I would like to raise a total of £1500 for this charity.

 

And whilst I also have the support of my family, friends and colleagues at Natixis, I am very much hoping that YOU, will help me to reach this fundraising target.

Christopher
