Story

Hello. Thank you for visiting my fund-raising page. I am running the Hackney Half Marathon for Hackney Foodbanks. Our goal is a hunger-free Hackney, where everyone can afford to eat. Publicis Sapient has a long relationship with Hackney and Tower Hamlets, supporting the schools and families in our local community. I am running with 5 other people from Sapient to raise money, and awareness, of the poverty and tough living conditions right on our doorstep.

This is my first half-marathon after a long series on injuries. Over the last 3 years I have torn my Achilles, herniated my L4 spine disc, and damaged my glutes. So this is not just a challenge to raise money. It's a challenge to see if I can even complete such a distance given where my fitness and physical health is right now. Even if you can't donate, please share this with others, cheer me on, or help support one of my colleagues!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
