I set myself a massive challenge in doing the Edinburgh half marathon this year. I know it is going to be hard and will take a lot of training (I’ve already started) but I wanted something like that to raise a lot of money for my chosen charity.

 I’ve decided to go with Edinburgh’s Woman’s Aid as they do such amazing work for domestic abuse victims (and their children), helping them find a way out, and recover, through a range of support. This includes: refuge accommodation; helplines; resettlement support;
specialist children and young people services; Prevention Advocates and drop-in support.

I want to raise as much money for this charity as possible so that they can help prevent domestic violence through education and campaigns, which is why I’m posting my just giving page now.

One in four women experience domestic abuse in their lifetime. If you’ve not experienced it yourself you probably know someone who has. If you’re able to contribute anything, no matter how little, that would be really appreciated.
