<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>At Refugee Action, I work with lots of people who have been recognised as refugees by the UK government - this means they have been forced to flee their countries due to persecution or violence and that their own country's legal processes could not be relied on to protect them.</p> <p>Incredibly, 28 days after our government grants them refugee status, they are made homeless.&nbsp; Nor are they able to access English language support or culturally-appropriate employment advice.&nbsp; This seems crazy.&nbsp; These are future citizens of this country.</p> <p>I believe my charity, Refugee Action, does some fantastic and innovative work to support people in this situation.</p> <p>So I decided to do the Great Manchester 10K Run to raise funds for this vital work.&nbsp; I wanted to challenge myself because I haven't done a 10K run since I was 18 which was a long, long time ago and I was intrigued to see if it was still possible...</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
