Raising money for

Crisis

Charity Registration No. 1082947

Crisis is the national charity for single homeless people. We are dedicated to ending homelessness by delivering life-changing services and campaigning for change.

Our innovative education, employment, housing and well-being services address individual needs and help people to transform their lives.

We are determined campaigners, working to prevent people from becoming homeless and advocating solutions informed by research and our direct experience.

We have ambitious plans for the future and are committed to help more people in more places across the UK. We know we won’t end homelessness overnight or on our own. But we take a lead, collaborate with others and, together, make change happen.

My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. This was my eighth London Marathon for Crisis, the national homelessness charity. This year, more than ever, they need loads of support to carry on with their vital work, so please help by sponsoring me. My previous seven London Marathons raised around £60,000 for Crisis, and with your help we are on the way to adding another £6,000 this year.

The day was sunny and warm which brought out thousands of people to watch and support - I really felt they were helping us all towards the finish. The last six miles hurt - they always do - but it's great to know that so much money is being raised.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Crisis 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! And tell anyone else you know...!
