Thanks for coming to my JustGiving page.

I am a sexual health nurse from Bristol, once a week I run a clinic at One25.  One25 is an amazing Bristol based Charity who offer help to vulnerable women trapped in street sex work.  They have an awesome drop in where women can get a hot shower, wash their clothes, get a good lunch, take part in lots of activities, chill on the sofa and see health professionals like me.  The drop in is staffed by an incredible group of women who offer exceptional support.  One25 also run an outreach van visiting women where they work.

The women who use one25 often have very hard lives.  They demonstrate remarkable courage, fortitude, humour and kindness despite everything they have been through and are a pleasure to work with.

Last year One25 helped 47 women take the courageous journey away from street sex work.  Women like Eleanor:

“It's been such a long time since I've felt heard, loved, valued and supported. One25 have been with me throughout the hardest times I've ever had to face to date, I wouldn't be as strong as I am today without them.”

In 2018 I started running, quite slowly at first, after 30 odd years of believing that I just couldn't run.  It has been a journey of discovery for me, making me fitter and prompting me to take on challenges I wouldn't have dreamed of even a year ago.  This is one of them.  I want to dedicate this run to the women who use and work at One25.  This is a very small thing in comparison to the many life challenges they face but I hope I can raise a bit of money to help support this fantastic charity.
