I've set myself the challenge of running the Oxford Half marathon on October 13th to raise money for a really worthy cause - Elmore services. Anyone that knows me will appreciate what a challenge this will be; I'm not known for having an athletes lifestyle! The training will will be tough but this is a very worthy cause and I could really do with the fitness! So not only are you helping a local charitable cause survive but you're also supporting Elmore Services! ;-)

If you haven't heard of Elmore services before let me tell you about some of the essential work they do.  Across Oxfordshire Elmore supports people who experience several overlapping problems at the same time, such as mental ill health, homelessness, modern day slavery, exploitation, drug and alcohol addiction, and offending. Without Elmore, they would fall through the gaps between services and find themselves in a downward spiral. At the cutting edge of Elmore’s work is their intensive one-to-one crisis interventions and ongoing support to hundreds of people every year. Last year Elmore had to raise £68,000 to provide the same level of support. They need our help to go on making a difference and helping people get better! Please support me as I run for mental health recovery!


Any donations massively appreciated.
