Flora London Marathon 2008 · 13 April 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.

MILEAGE UPDATE:
Training to date: 280.57 miles
Longest run to date: 26.2 miles!! in Under 5 hours! :)


Thank you for visiting my fundraising page to help women and children who are experiencing and escaping domestic violence in the UK.

Every day, Refuge supports over 900 women and children in its refuges and community outreach schemes - your donation will make a huge difference in their work.  Here are some examples of how your contribution can help:
• £10 could pay for an hour activity session for children living in a refuge
• £50 could fund a session of therapy for a group of 4 children, helping them overcome the trauma of witnessing or experiencing violence
• £75 could fund a support group for women who have experienced domestic violence
• £350 could pay for a training workshop for 20 women, helping them enter the employment market and regain independence
 
By reaching my goal, our collective funds could allow an outreach worker to visit 136 women in their home or place of safety, helping them to take control of their lives and keep safe.

Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

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 UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
