For homeless women, it really is that dreaded time of the month. With limited or no access to sanitary products, thery're often forced to go without. I believe that towels and tampons should be made available through homeless hostels and shelters.

So, I have decided to take part in a Muddy 5K on Saturday 8 July, any of you who know me will realise that this is huge for me; however, after shedding just over two stone (so far), I have decided "if not now? when?"

All the money that I raise from completing this Muddy 5k will be used to purchase towels and tampons for the hostels and day centres, where I currently work as a Homeless Health Nurse.

Please give whatever you can, even if it is just a few pence, it will make such a massive difference to a homeless woman!

Thank you!
