Flora London Marathon 2009 · 26 April 2009 ·

Refuge opened the world’s first refuge in West London in 1971. We support thousands of women & children every day, experiencing domestic and sexual violence, female genital mutilation, forced marriage, stalking, trafficking, prostitution & so-called ‘honour’ based violence.

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.  I can't quite believe it but I am running in the London Marathon. this year.  It is something I have always wanted to do but never thought I would!  I am also raising money for the charity Refuge and this is a huge motivator when I have to run in the cold and dark evenings.

I am really excited about my training for the Marathon and at the same time raising money for Refuge.  There is a paragrpah below that gives some more information on this charity.  I often meet women at a homeless day centre who have had to leave abusive relationships and it is comforting to know that Refuge provides help and support to victims of domestic violence.


Giving through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Refuge 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!
