Story

Terrence Higgins Trust do a lot of amazing work so it's quite hard to sum-up, but here's three amazing things your money will help support:

🏳️‍🌈Leading the fight to end new cases of HIV by 2030. We can be the first country to end new cases of HIV, which would be an absolutely wild achievement. It's not going to happen though without Terrence Higgins Trust keeping up the pressure on government for policy changes and bringing together everyone who needs to be involved in this fight.

🎓Educating people about HIV to stop the stigma. Stigma against people living with HIV is still so prevalent, but Terrence Higgins Trust educate the public, including through their Positive Voices programme which send people living into schools, workplaces and medical settings to talk about their experience and bust myths about HIV.

💞Supporting people living with HIV. From a hardship fund that is often a vital bridge for people to afford basic essentials like food, to a work and skills programme that can help people back into employment, to peer support groups and a counselling service that shows a truly stunning impact on people's mental health, Terrence Higgins Trust helps people to live well with HIV.

It's really easy and quick to donate through JustGiving, so please support me running the London Landmarks Half Marathon for Terrence Higgins Trust. (And make sure you include a song recommendation when you donate to add to my running playlist for the day).

This will be by far the furthest I've ever run - and honestly I think a lot of the training for it is going to be unpleasant and damp. But it will be worth it if I know I'm raising money for this amazing cause 💖
