I have been lucky to work for Shelter Cymru for the last ten years and I have seen over and over again the difference made by our frontline services and our campaigning. It makes me angry and sad that so many people have to turn to us because of the state of our housing system and the high cost of rents.

I ran the Cardiff Half about ten years ago (this may be TMI but we conceived our 2nd child after the race!!) I am nowhere near as fit as I was then but would like to see if I can get something approaching a respectable time, now that I am in my mid forties.

It would mean so much to me if you'd put a few quid in my sponsorship and help me support this charity's life-changing work. Thank you :)
