<p>Thanks so much for visiting my JustGiving page. On 22nd April, I did it! I ran the London Marathon for the first time in 3 hours, 39 minutes and 21 seconds and I did it in aid of Retail Trust, a charity really close to my heart. Just because the race is finished doesn't mean the fundraising has! This charity needs support all year round.</p>
<p>Retail Trust is the only charity that looks after all three million people working in the retail industry. The charity has helped retail staff personally overcome mental and physical abuse, homelessness, in-store attacks, riots and much more. Their 24/7 Helpline provides free counselling, support, hardship grants, course funding to name a few services for people working in retail and it’s absolutely free. </p>
<p>I have been a supporter of Retail Trust for several years and I really believe in what they do. That’s why I am aiming to raise £10,000 for the charity! I’m going to need all the help I can get so please do sponsor me so Retail Trust can help continue to help retail staff who need support.</p>
<p>So please dig deep and donate now. You know you want to!</p>

<p><br>P.S. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to Retail Trust and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p>
