Story
Hi, my name is Hozan and I come from Kurdistan, Iraq originally. I have lived in the UK for almost 9 years and for 4 of those I have been in Oxfordshire.
I have been through lots of good and bad times, but I always want to help others and bring them happiness and I am running the Oxford Half Marathon to thank Sanctuary Hosting for the work they have been doing.
Sanctuary Hosting supports refugees, asylum seekers and migrants who are vulnerable and at risk of being homeless. By supporting their clients with safe and stable accommodation, the put people in a better place when they most need it.
I'm really grateful for this amazing organisation, so I'm aiming to raise money for them by running the Oxford Half Marathon on Sunday 15th October.
Today, I'm asking my friends, family and kind strangers to donate as much as they can. This will help motivate me to finish and help those who most need it.
By donating, you will be helping to reduce the number of people who sleep in the cold across the county. With your help, Sanctuary Hosting can find a better more stable and safe place to sleep for the vulnerable people who need it.
Thank you for supporting me and my goal to run the Oxford Half Marathon in under 1 hour 33 minutes.
