Edward's 450K Run

450K Run · 24 March 2021
I wanted to make April which is my birthday month valuable by giving rather than receiving which is why I started this fundraiser.
Running started off being a coping mechanism for me which has helped me deal with anxiety and depression. The more I grew up the more I realised that it's something I really enjoy doing and it slowly started becoming a big part of my life. Now I am fortunate enough to be able to use the one thing that has helped me to help other people.
I have been lucky enough to grow up in a supportive and loving family but unfortunately a lot of children weren't given that opportunity.Children shouldn’t have to start their life without emotional support, guidance or resources. Every child deserves an opportunity to grow up in a secure and caring family which will help them reach their full potential.
Adoption Matters is an incredible charity that recruits, trains and supports individuals and families as adopters and offer them ongoing support and training for as long as they need it.They are inclusive, ethical and they work within a culture of respect and acceptance.
''At Adoption Matters we believe that children’s welfare and needs are paramount and we aim for them to grow up in a secure and loving family who will best meet their long-term needs.''
