Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I have signed up to support the Salvation Army by running the London Marathon. I chose to do the London Marathon as running is something I do not enjoy, but I'm up for the challenge! On the build up to the marathon (and to help motivate me to train) I am running a number of 10Ks and 2 half marathons.
All donations, big and small, are very much appreciated.
In 2015, it was estimated that around 3,569 people sleep rough on any one night across England which is a 30% rise from 2014 and double the amount of people since 2010! In London alone, it is estimated that over 8,000 people lived on the streets last year. This is only a snapshot of the actual figures which are likely to be much higher. Helping the homeless is only a small amount of the great work undertaken by the Salvation Army and I believe with the resources we have in the UK, these figures should be significantly lower. I hope the money I raise will help them to continue doing the great work they already do.
