Having personally been affected by domestic abuse, I feel strongly about raising money for RISE.

I am sure most if not all of you know somebody who has been affected by domestic abuse. Abuse isn't just physical, just because the bruises aren't visible doesn't mean its not happening. The affects of psychological abuse can be far more damaging and people can remain affected months even years after the events occurred. This is why for my first ever Half Marathon I am running for RISE.

RISE help over 2,000 woman, children and young people every year. They offer support in many ways from urgent refuge, counselling and help with civil and criminal proceedings. They are the only Domestic Abuse charity in Brighton and Hove so the donations they receive are crucial in being able to provide support  to people in need. Any donations will be much appreciated.

Thank you xx
