I'm taking part in the Hackney Half with the Rare Runners, raising money for Rare Charity.

Having spent a few days at the Satemwa Estate back in 2018 and meeting Alex, one of the Rare Scholars - it was a no-brainer when Daisy asked me to get involved... Despite never having been on a 'run' before. 

A cup of tea at the end would be nice to restore my normality. 

Here's an idea about how your donation could help...

• £5: a month's quality medical cover for a scholar
• £10: A school uniform
• £25: funds a student through secondary school for one month

and if you're feeling really generous...

• £1,500: average cost of one year at university, including tuition fees, meals and accommodation
