Become is a charity that is dedicated to helping & supporting children and young people currently in care & those leaving care. We need charities like this because care leavers especially are often overlooked and forgotten about. This leads to all sorts of long-term issues for young, vulnerable people who are already at a massive disadvantage. 

I have written a blog about my story, which you can read in full here. Trigger warning: homelessness, drug misuse, debt, mental illness: https://www.facebook.com/110534118115559/posts/128979156271055/

At some point, with everything that happened to me, I stopped caring about myself, and as a result, I gained a lot of weight and the healthy person I once knew, no longer existed. This year, I am very proudly taking part in a 100k Ultra-Walk based in Yorkshire to raise money in order to support Become. 

I invite you to follow my progress and donate anything you can to a cause that is very close to my heart. Every penny raised will help towards a young person having a better chance at normal adult life, and not experience anything similar to what I went through.
