My story

Dear friends, family, colleagues and strangers...

Please sponsor me!

I am running the London Marathon for the first time, and my aim is to raise £5,000 for RefugeeYouth.

I've been closely connected to RefugeeYouth over the last 4 years, and am constantly inspired by the young people I meet there.

Compared to the journeys that some of them have had to make, running 26 miles is a walk in the park...

RefugeeYouth is a small charity with limited resources, so any money that we can raise will make a huge difference to them. To find out more about the charity visit www.refugeeyouth.org

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Refugee Youth will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support, it is greatly appreciated
