My story

Refuge is a domestic abuse chairty that isn't allocated any spaces in the Great North Run, so when I got a place in the ballot I decided to ask Refuge if I could run on their behalf. Refuge relies on charitable donations to ensure that their important work can continue. Domestic abuse is not a cuddly subject; it's difficult to wrap up and sell as a potential charitable birthday present, so as a result the Donkey Sanctuary received more donations last year than all the domestic abuse charities in Britain put together.

Refuge provides a 24 hour helpline to help vunerable women and children that are experiencing domestic violence, providing support and information 365 days a year. They provide emergency accomodation for women and children when they are most at need. Refuge helps to raise awareness about a problem that will affect 1 in 4 women in their lifetime.

This charity relies on donations from the public to help fund their work, so any donation, large or small would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks, Claire.
