I'm running the Royal Parks Half Marathon on 11 October for Shelter, to help raise money to support the homeless and precariously housed. While I love running, I've never run more than 10k before, and I'm very slow, especially when I run with my whippet Wallace! But the issue of homelessness is one that is very close to my heart.

So here we are.

Because everyone should have a safe place to call home, and yet there are nearly 120,000 children living in temporary accommodation in England, with a household becoming homeless every 4 minutes. This is an outrage. As a proud member of #TeamShelter, every pound I raise with your support will help defend the right to a safe home.

Shelter believes that home is everything, and so do I.

You can follow my progress as I train either here, or on Strava, Bluesky, and Instagram!

Please support my slightly mad escapade on behalf of those who have no safe place to lay their heads.
