I'm raising money for Centrepoint, the charity for homeless young people, by running the London Marathon on 23 April 2023.

Every young person in the UK deserves a decent start in life. Centrepoint is a fantastic charity working with young homeless people to give them the care, support and training that they need to make a good life for themselves. You can read more about the charity in their words below and use the link for more info.

I'd be really grateful if you can donate whatever amount you can afford to help them with their work.

My training is on track and I'm really looking forward to the day. If you can come out to support the runners, please do as it can be a fun day and really makes a difference to those taking part.  The photo is from when I ran the London Marathon in 2008 (it must have been taken near the start as I'm not sure I'd be smiling towards the end!).

The money you donate will help give homeless young people a brighter future. Centrepoint is the UKs leading charity for homeless young people, aged 16-25. In the wake of the pandemic, youth homelessness is on the rise - 121,000 young people asked for help with homelessness last year. Centrepoint supports over 14,000 homeless 16-25 year olds in the UK each year. Centrepoint provide long-term accommodation and specialist care, and 88% of the young people they work with move on into education, a job and their own home. There are thousands more vulnerable young people that our need help. Please donate today and give homeless young people a brighter future.
