My story

 

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. As many of you know I have never done any running before - even for the bus! So while many of you may think 5km is not far to run it certainly is for me and I have been training for the run since January (albeit not very consistently). I am determined to run all the way so any support you can provide, however small would be greatly appreciated to inspire me.

Refugee Action is a charity I regularly support. Having worked on asylum and migration issues I know how difficult it can be coming to the UK as a refugee or asylum seeker. Many people have fled conflict, endured human rights violations and are seeking a better life for themselves and their families. Refugee Action provides them with the support they need to do this so please give as much as you feel you can.

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!
