Many of you who know me will know that I am not a natural athlete...and that I'm still missing part of my ankle bone from being hit by a car whilst cycling through London at the end of last year! Tesla's are silent but luckily not so much deadly.

However you will also know that I'm quite determined and believe strongly in supporting a good cause. 

Childhood should be a time to dream, but Covid-19 has robbed many more children of that opportunity. Since the pandemic and lockdowns: 1 in 6 children now struggle with their mental health - up from 1 in 9. The NSPCC has seen a 3x increase in children talking to Childline about sexual abuse within the family. And, a 53% in domestic violence.We know that the right support at the right time can prevent both abuse and mental health problems from derailing the rest of a child's life.£4 answers a call to Childline from a child suffering in a silence. £25 covers an hour of therapy - rebuilding lives after abuse. Every penny you raise can help put a child's life back on track. Every penny you raise is helping give thousands of children the support they need to dream of a brighter future.

Please do pledge something, it would mean the world to me and have an impact on so many different lives.
