Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Kids Inspire is an Essex based charity helping disadvantaged and troubled young people become valued members of society.

The children supported by Kids Inspire vary widely, some have suffered trauma, neglect or abuse and as a direct result may feel disconnected from society. Because their behaviour challenges teachers and support staff, these children are often labeled, neglected and are either not in education or are at risk of exclusion.

Kids Inspire steps in by helping to heal wounds of these trauma and to reconnect these indviduals with both themselves and society.

As a father of 4 boys I know how challenging raising and mentoring children can be. Our children have very many privelidges other children do not and the opportunity to run the Brentwood Half Marathon to raise money for less fortunate children seems a privelidge in itself for me.

Ideally, I will raise £2,500 the minimum needed to fund the training of a new mentor for the charity, maybe that mentor will be me???
