<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page! </p>
<p>I am attempting to run the London Marathon this year! I'm running for a charity called Relate West Surrey who offer a facility called 'Relateen'. This is a listening service available for 10-25 year olds who have been affected by loss, parental conflict, separation, divorce or overall unhappiness. Help is on hand for young people to feel heard. They have time with someone impartial to discuss the way they are feeling and help to develop coping strategies and to develop their self-confidence. </p>
<p>As a teacher I appreciate the huge value of this service. Children can be deeply affected by changes in their lives, many of which can be quite traumatic and even damaging. This can influence their education and other aspects of their lives for many years. Relate aim to help these children and offer them a lifeline when times are dark. </p>
<p>Any spare change you could offer me would me really appreciated! </p>
<p>Thank you for your time and support :o) </p>
