Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am running the Royal Parks Half marathon to raise money for Shelter. This is a substantial challenge for me as I have never run anything close to this distance before. Getting to the start line without injury will be a success in itself.

I chose to support Shelter as my family experienced times of housing insecurity when I was growing up and I remember how much anxiety that created. Fortunately these periods were short lived and we were helped by the generosity of friends and family. Many other people are not so fortunate and I wholeheartedly support Shelter's combination of practical advice to those who need it and campaigning for a better housing system for all. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

I really appreciate all support.
