The Blackfriars Settlement is a fantastic charity that supports people in the local community with physical and mental illnesses. With other people in my team at work, we're trying to raise a total of £5000 for them. 

I'm choosing to contribute by running a 10k on July 1st at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

As some of you will know, I used to run and completed a marathon in 2013, but had to stop when I suffered an injury that led to arthritis and nerve damage. I've only been able to start up running again very recently so a 10k is a really big step (excuse the pun) for me.

Please donate if you can! And don't forget to Gift Aid the tax :)
