Gingerbread is the leading charity working with single parent families in the UK, supporting, advising and campaigning with single mums and dads to help them meet their family’s needs. 1 in 4 families in the UK are now headed by a single parent, however many single parent families continue to experience poverty, disadvantage and stigma. By supporting Gingerbread, you’ll be helping single parents across the country to receive expert advice, practical support, as well as get their voices heard.

As a single parent myself, I wanted to support Gingerbread through running, but also as a personal challenge to show my #singleparentstrength 

People become single parents for all sorts of reasons. Becoming a single parent myself 6 years ago was not easy, but through it all I have realised that I am capable of so much more than I ever realised. Running has helped me in the process.

I am aiming to raise at least £500 for Gingerbread through my ongoing running challenges.

Thanks so much for your support.
