*** UPDATE 4/3/22 ***

Unfortunately due to a calf injury I won’t be able to run the Southampton Half Marathon 2022. Instead I'll (hopefully) be running the ABP Southampton Half Marathon on 23rd April 2023

This page will remain open for donations.

*** MY STORY ***

Those close to me will know what my partner and I have been subjected to recently and understand why I have chosen to (try and) run Southampton Half Marathon in support of ManKind Initiative. What we have lived through and continue to live through is abhorrent. We have experienced the worst of people and of the systems and services that are meant to be in place to protect us. 

Please support me and ManKind Initiative to improve services available to male victims of domestic abuse. Living through DA is traumatic enough without having to fight to be heard/believed and receive help so desperately needed.
