Story

<p>Oh my god - a marathon!!!</p> <p>Actually, not just a marathon. A half marathon (Brighton - 19th Feb), a marathon (Edinburgh - 27th May) and an Olympic distance triathlon (in July).</p> <p>I'm truly scared of all of these, but of course I'm doing this for Refugee Youth Project, a charity I helped to start, and which is a cause I know from first hand experience is really helping young refugees. I visited Lebanon last summer and was so inspired by what I saw and the people I met who were involved in the project out there.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
