In the U.K.:

🛑 2 women a week are killed by a current or former partner

🛑 1 in 4 women will experience domestic abuse in their life time

🛑 90% of domestic abuse in a family household happens in the presence of a child

🛑 And every 30 seconds the police receive a call relating to domestic abuse 

❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌ 

Just a few of the heartbreaking facts around domestic abuse of women and children in the U.K. 

As a woman and now a mum of two little girls these chill me to the core 

🏃🏻‍♀️ The London marathon has always been on my bucket list and after running the Gran Canaria marathon in November last year at a much slower pace than I planned to (it was flipping hot!)

I have some unfinished marathon business 

This will be my 4th (and final 🤪) marathon - a few weeks after I turn 40 - which feels very appropriate 

And I am so happy to be able to support the incredible work that Refuge do, by doing so

My goal is to raise £2000

£52 provides safe accommodation for 1 night for a woman and her child

🥰 With your help - we can help them provide over 38 nights 🥰

Thank you for all your support - big and small - every single penny makes a difference
