Stonewall is working for equality and justice for lesbians, gay men and bisexuals through campaigning and lobbying Parliament and Government and working in partnerships with organisations outside Parliament. Stonewall's current major campaigns are to ensure the ending of homophobic bullying in schools and harassment in the workplace, securing equal legal treatment in areas where it doesn’t already exist, and promoting fair coverage in the print and broadcast media.

My story

On the 18th October, we are going to run 13 miles around Cardiff...Yes, we had a glass of wine in hand when we signed up for this half marathon. No, we have not (yet) tried to run whilst knocking back the Cava. We have trained up and down the hills of Ealing, across the mountains of Christchurch, and along the harbour of Auckland. We have been laughed at by the man selling trainers in Nike Town (feel free to go and see the video footage), and have battled on through bad knees, sore hips, jogger's nipple, tennis elbow and writer's block...for those of you who think this will be a walk in the park for one of us, cast your mind back to how much exercise your PE teacher actually did at school....

As we have stepped up the training, we are no longer singing to Bruce Springsteen, Born to Run, and instead are whimpering to Queen, Under Pressure....so we thought perhaps it was about time we asked you to put your hand in your pocket and give us some money....

We will be running for Stonewall. This is a charity working towards equality and justice for lesbians, gay men and bisexuals. The current focus is education in schools and the workplace. Young people and adults still suffer bullying and harassment, simply for having the courage to be themselves. This is a charity that many of you will not have had any experience of, or a personal investment in. However, it is important to us to ensure the progressive work of Stonewall continues.

So...we know times are hard, but think of us sipping mineral water and eating brown rice over the next few weeks, and donate what you might spend on a round of drinks or a take away. We would love your support, especially as race day gets closer!

With love,

Emma and Maggie
