My story

Hello!

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I'm sure most of you know just how much I would rather be eating a cupcake somewhere than dragging myself along Hackney canal towpath with 'real' runners giving me worried looks (as if turning purple is not natural). So please sponsor me - any amount you can - as I need the support!

Refugee Action is a great charity that supports people who arrive in this country often fleeing situations of persecution and terror. With no one to turn to, many would be destitute, even forced into prostitution, which is not something that should be allowed to happen. Refugee Action gives support that is desperately needed. For more info, visit refugee-action.org.uk.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Refugee Action 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! Thank you very much xx
