Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running London Marathon, peeps!

Although I do not have a fundraising place or target, I will be representing Black Trail Runners and would appreciate any donations and support towards the great work they do.

BTR is a community and campaigning charity that seeks to increase the inclusion, participation and representation of black people in trail running.

Running in the outdoors is for everyone, and whilst trail running culture imagines itself to be inclusive, the start lines often don’t reflect this.  

There is a lack of diversity in trail running for a number of reasons, including (but not limited to) access, skills and representation. Rural areas and the countryside are predominantly white spaces, compared to cities - this means that hiking and trail running is often not seen as a favoured pastime within the black community.

Black runners are under-represented in the culture of trail running, and lack a voice in its organisation and visibility in its media. BTR work to improve this through encouraging increased representation at races, organising social runs and events, plus providing kit loans and skills workshops such as mountain running and navigation.
