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

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We’re running the London Marathon this year! It’s going to be a huge challenge for us but it’s something we’ve wanted to do for a while and we’re doing it for a great cause. We’re raising money for Refuge who provide vital services and support for women and children who are escaping domestic violence, as well as campaigning and lobbying about the issues around domestic abuse.

We’ve been trying to up our running game over the last few months and have survived some very wet and windy runs to date, including over Christmas when we would normally be found on the sofa with the tin of Celebrations.

However the hardest part of our training is definitely still to come and we would be hugely motivated by your support through sponsoring us. Any contributions would be greatly appreciated by us both.

The marathon is on Sunday 13 April and we’d also be very grateful to anyone who wanted to come and cheer us on while we struggle round on the day!
