Hi, I am attempting to run the London Marathon. This is my first ever Marathon (having run lots of 10K's, 10m's and a couple of half marathons in the past) but I have always said if there is one I want to do it's London Marathon - so Emmaus have given me the opportunity and I will do my best to rise to the challenge!
The company I work for - Iceni Homes have been supporting Emmaus (a homeless Charity) for the last year or so and we were invited to apply through their own ballot and to my amazement I was lucky enough to get selected!
Thank you for your support any donation you can make is really appreciated.
A bit about Emmaus.... Emmaus supports formerly homeless people by giving them a home, meaningful work in a social
enterprise and an opportunity to get back on their feet again. For many who experience homelessness, one of the biggest obstacles they must overcome is a loss of self-esteem. Emmaus provides people with a stable home and the opportunity to regain their self-worth, making a real contribution to their community. Research shows that for every £1 invested in a community, there is an £11 social, environmental and economic return, with savings to the benefits bill, health services and a reduction in crime re-offending.
