My story

 

I have recently downloaded Eye of the Tiger by Survivor onto my ipod which can only mean one thing. No, I'm not taking up boxing but I am quaking in my tatty Asics trainers at the prospect of running the Virgin London Marathon on April 25th 2010.

I'm running for Standing Together Against Domestic Violence.

 
Fitness wise, I ran a half marathon last year which was OK but I couldn't walk down stairs for about 3 days so the next 6 months are going to involve a lot of hard work, deep heat and running, obviously.
 
Therefore, the more people donate to my chosen charity over the next few weeks and months the more motivated I will be to train and do you all proud on the day. And yes, as before I am promising kisses to all sponsors, the number of seconds and intensity is negotiable and will be dependant on the size of the donation. For more information on this please contact me directly.
 

About the charity

Established in 1998, Standing Together Against Domestic Violence coordinates the ground-breaking multi-agency response to domestic violence. Standing Together influences national policy and practice by initiating and driving innovation, providing safer options for women and their children and holding perpetrators accountable. Standing Together builds and supports effective multi agency partnerships throughout the UK to meet the needs of survivors of domestic violence.

Standing Together believes that that domestic violence is a serious and high volume crime which no one agency can deal with effectively if acting alone. It destroys families and damages society. The facts about domestic violence are shocking and all communities, classes and ages are affected. 1 in 4 women experience domestic violence. Two women are murdered in the UK by their current or former partner every week.

Standing Together trains all agencies to deal with domestic violence effectively and consults with survivors to inform improvements in services.
