ING New York Marathon 2008 · 2 November 2008 ·

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

TWO WOMEN ARE KILLED EACH WEEK AS A DIRECT RESULT OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE!

We have committed to running the 2008 New York Marathon in order to raise £4,000 to help those women and children who suffer at the hands of their partners/fathers.

Refuge has a new safe house due to open soon and it needs furnishing.  The £4,000 we raise will help pay for numerous items including children's toys, bed linen, sofas, a washing machine, dishwasher, rugs and much more.

We have a tough task of running 26.2 miles, all we ask you to do is dig deep and pledge as much money as you can!

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

So please sponsor us now!

Many thanks for your support.
