Hello!

I have signed up to run the Brighton marathon this year, in collaboration with Rise. Rise is a local Brighton domestic abuse charity that provides things like accommodation for women and children escaping domestic abuse, as well as support with criminal proceedings and counselling and support groups. To find out more, check out their website:

https://www.riseuk.org.uk/ 

Many of you will know that this is a cause that's very close to my heart, and the effects of Covid and lockdown has been painfully detrimental to so many, not least of all victims of domestic abuse. According to WomensAid Over 90% of those currently experiencing domestic abuse said the pandemic had negatively impacted in at least one way. Of those women living with their abuser during lockdown, 61% said the abuse had worsened. More than two-thirds (68%) said they felt they had no one to turn to during lockdown. 

If you would like to support me in my first marathon, and donate to a worthy cause, any amount would be greatly appreciated ❤

Peace out
K
