Story
I'm running Sheffield half marathon in April for Help in Handbags - a charity that is tacking period poverty in Leeds by distributing bags with enough supplies in them to get someone who a month's worth of menstruation. It costs around £9 to fund a month's supply of sanitary products and toiletries, so every little really helps
I am aiming to raise £540 - 5 years worth of sanitary products for homeless people and foodbank users in Leeds.

To donate in other ways we also have an amazon wishlist of products we need to fill our bags: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/registry/wishlist/QDPX8F4IOAXM
