🏃‍♀️ Hi, I’m Bilge!

This autumn, I’ll be running the Royal Parks Half Marathon, and this time, I’m doing it to raise money for a very important cause — EveryYouth.

EveryYouth is a national movement made up of leading youth homelessness charities across the UK. They support young people who are facing homelessness by helping them find safe housing, access education or training, and rebuild their lives.

🌍I’ve taken part in charity runs before — and even cycled from London to Brighton for a cause — but this one feels different. Youth homelessness is a growing crisis in the UK, and it’s something we don’t talk about enough. There are over 129,000 young people facing homelessness every year. That number is heartbreaking, and I want to help, even in a small way.

By running this race and fundraising, I hope to support EveryYouth in the amazing work they do.

💬 Your donation — no matter the size — will go directly to supporting real change. Whether it’s helping someone off the street, into education, or into a first job, your support is part of a bigger movement of hope.

🙏 Thank you so much for supporting me and this cause. It really means a lot, and your help will keep me going on race day!
