I am running the Vancouver Marathon on 1st May 2022. As most of you will know I am not a natural or regular runner, this combined with the non-stop rain we are getting in Vancouver ensures this will definitely be a challenge for me!

I am raising money for the Rosa Fund, this is a grantmaking charity that funds grassroots women's organisations working to make the UK a fairer and safer place for women and girls.

I continually am outraged and saddened at the never-ending stories we see in the news, and the tip of the iceberg that this represents. Rosa's mission resonates with me as a feminist and young woman.

Rosa supports women's organisations working closely in communities, they're the ones campaigning to secure equal representation for women in politics and public life, and working to end violence against women and girls. They're advocating for better access to healthcare, and pushing for economic stability.

Your donation will help organisations to campaign for change, run their support services, and be there for women and girls who need them most.
