I am going to complete 26.2 miles in the month of June to raise much needed funds for Gingerbread. Gingerbread are the leading national charity working with single parent families. Today, there are two million single parent families in the country. Gingerbread champion their voices and keep their needs at the heart of everything they do. There are two million single parents with majority care for their kids in Britain today thats one in four families with children Single parents do a brilliant job, but paying the bills and juggling work and family life on your own can be a real challenge Less than half of single parents receive money from their childs other parent, and children in single parent families are twice as likely as children in couple families to live in poverty The majority of single parents are working, but two-thirds of them say finances are still a constant struggle at best Whatever success looks like to a single parent , Gingerbread works to make it happen.
