Hello everyone,

Some of you may know this already, but for those of you that don't, on March 25th 2012, I will boldly attempt to run the Barcelona Marathon.

I'm running for a charity called Student Action for Refugees (STAR) - they're a national network of student groups working to improve lives of refugees and asylum seekers in the UK.

Watch the video in my gallery to get an idea of who you'd be helping by donating.

Thank you very much!

Charity Registration No. 1079042

STAR makes the UK a welcoming & safe place for refugees. We are 5,000 student volunteers giving direct support to thousands of refugees across the UK through English classes, drop ins & much more. We help refugees tomorrow by educating our fellow students about asylum & campaigning for change.
