Raising money for

Alone in London

Charity Registration No. 280827

Alone In London not only restores stability in the lives of vulnerable young people, who are homeless or are at risk of becoming homeless, but also commits considerable resources to a range of prevention programmes. Its projects raise awareness amongst school pupils of what homelessness is about, how to defuse conflict - the biggest cause of young people running away from home, and where they can get help if difficulties become too much. On average, each year, over 3,000 young people benefit from Alone In London's support and advice.

My story

So now that you've bothered to click ... and come this far!... :)

For all those generous ones amongst you... i promise to throw a huge house party after the marathon for everyone who sponsors me, and all booze will be provided, to say a huge thanks for sponsoring me this year (and no doubt last year too)

Alone in london - why this charity lots of my friends have asked me.. the only answer i can give is that i read this story below...

Mark White* had been homeless for two months after being asked to leave his family home. "My mum kicked me out after a fight with my stepdad," he explains, "and my mum wasn't interested in my side of the story." Unemployed and not at college, White slept on friends' sofas and even spent two nights sleeping on a London night bus. "I really wanted to go home though," he says.

White says: "I loved my mum and I knew she loved me, but ever since my stepdad, David, came into our family's lives everything changed.

"On the day my mum kicked me out, I was playing with my stepsister Emily when I accidentally broke a vase belonging to David that was given to him by his grandmother. It was an accident, but my mum got mad and knew that David would take it out on her when he got home. When David got back, he told my mum that if I stayed he would leave. I was so mad at him for putting that pressure on my mum and threw a cup at him. He grabbed me and we grappled for a while. My mum jumped in to break us up and I was kicked out."

So what do they do...

Rather than point the finger of blame or force families to take children back, Alone In London's mediation service facilitates the communication process, or in cases of abuse where the child would be at risk, work with the Child support agency.

So thats why i chose them.. and hope that you can spare a few pennies to help a really worthy charity. oh and of course its worth it to see me walk backwards down stairs for a week afterwards!!
