Story

Thank you very much for visiting my fundraising page! On Sunday 21st April 2024, I will be running the London Marathon. I was lucky enough to secure a ballot place, but I’m fundraising anyway for Mermaids.

Mermaids is a small yet vital UK-based charity that works to support trans*/non-binary/gender-diverse young people and their families. Mermaids' vision is a safe, inclusive society in which these young people are empowered to live their best lives. Here are some examples of how your donations will help:

• £10 enables Mermaids aid a parent who is looking to support their child

• £25 pays for a Helpline Support Officer to speak to a young person in need for an hour

• £50 enables Mermaids to respond to five web chats

My most recent fundraising event -- my Spartan Ultra race in October 2023 -- raised £2,194 for AKT. I would love to raise even more money this time, hence my fundraising target of £2,195! Every donation made on this page will enable Mermaids to continue their fantastic work, so please donate however much you can!
