Virgin London Marathon 2010 · 25 April 2010 ·

At Amber’s residential centres disadvantaged young people have the chance to leave behind their troubled pasts. They are supported to overcome personal barriers and gain the social, educational and practical tools to lead successful, fulfilling, independent lives and be valuable members of society.

Story

I have decided to take on the challenge of running the London Marathon and in so support Amber. This is a fantastic charity that helps transforms young people’s lives.

Amber helps homeless unemployed young people (18-30) whose lives are going nowhere. It helps them to gain motivation, confidence and skills to become employed and self-sufficient.

In a residential setting Amber offers a fresh start; a chance to sort out problems, build self-confidence, gain practical skills and qualifications and generally acquire the know-how for independent living and work.

So far over 1,160 people have had their lives transformed from that of chaos and no hope to one of independence and a brighter future. I’m running a long way, a silly distance really this will be no walk in the park.

So please help me to help amber.
