Hello!

Thank you for visiting my page.  I'm trying to raise as much money as I can for a charity called ASSIST Trauma Care, and I'm going to do this by taking part in the Birmingham Adidas Womens Challenge (5k run).

ASSIST Trauma Care is a charity that helps people to overcome the psychological trauma that can occur after experiencing a traumatic event. 

This cause is very close to my heart,  as at the age of 13 I witnessed a shooting.  I felt competely alone and frightened, and the flashbacks and traumatic effects lasted for many years.  This had an enduring impact on my life, and left me feeling very weak and vulnerable.   Being given access to professional advice and support gave me my life back, and helped me to realise that I could move past the trauma I had experienced.

Any one of us can experience a traumatic event at any time and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder does not discriminate.  I'd be so grateful if you were able to sponsor me.  Any amount at all would be fantastic, and would go towards giving someone else their life back too.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Assistance Support And Self Help In Surviving Trauma gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
