Story

Thanks for visiting my JustGiving page. On the 6th April 2014, I will be running the Brighton Marathon (26.2 miles) for Stonewall UK. This charity is really important to me. Being Gay myself and in a civil partnership (soon to be marriage), I know first hand what it is like trying to fit in and be part of everyday society. Despite the positive social regard of the gay society today, there are still many Gay, Lesbian and Trans people who are bullied at school, home and the workplace. Stonewall have a dedicated team who soley rely on charity to help people in these situations. Not only this, Stonewall have played a huge part in pushing gay marriage through parliament faster and have succeded with this. They have many political studies and multi national projects to help LGBT people and I strongly believe their work is invaluable. Please sponsor anything you can and i will try my ABSOLUTE HARDEST to push my body to the extreme and cross that finishing line again!
