Lumos is fighting for every child’s right to have a family. There are over 5.4 million children trapped in institutions globally. These intuitions severely harm a child's physical and mental development. We are fighting for every child's right to grow up at home, in a safe and loving family.

Story

<p>I'll be running this year&rsquo;s London Marathon on behalf of children&rsquo;s charity, Lumos.</p> <p>Lumos works to put a stop to the systematic institutionalisation of disadvantaged children across Eastern and Central Europe and I have worked with them for almost a year now.<em> </em></p> <p>As soon as I&rsquo;m able to move from my bed after April 22nd, I&rsquo;ll report back on the event!</p> <p>In the meantime, here's a snap-shot of my current training - <a href="http://nikerunning.nike.com/nikeplus/v2/services/dashboard/og_run.jsp?activityid=1564071292&amp;amp;namespace=nikeapp&amp;amp;locale=en_US">finishing a half-marathon at the weekend</a></p> <p>-----</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
