I am running the London Marathon in October and would love to use the opportunity to raise some money to help people who really need it. I'd be super grateful for any donations (and/or anyone in London who wants to come and cheer me on when I inevitably look like I'm about to keel over!)

About the charity: 'Whitechapel Mission is dedicated to providing a lifeline to the poor and homeless of London, who struggle each day against hunger, poverty and exclusion. Our goal is to help people to help themselves, giving them the confidence they need to become independent, which we do through practical support and advice and by teaching them the life skills they need to succeed. We believe everyone deserves chance, regardless of their background, race or religion.'
