For my yearly charity deed this year, I’m hanging up the marathon trainers - On 21st November, I’ll be swapping my warm bed for a sleeping bag and sleeping out rough, for the night, to raise money for Centrepoint (with a few of my Barclays’ girls)! 

I must be absolutely nuts as the morning after sleeping out, I’m travelling to Manchester for a rave, travelling back the next day for a wedding and then have work on Sunday 🤦🏽‍♀️ But.... It’s for a good cause and it could be worse - I could be homeless!!!!!

I will be spending a cold and uncomfortable night sleeping in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park but it's all for an amazing cause.

Sleep Out raises money to help change the story for thousands of homeless 16-25 year olds in the UK. 103,000 young people experience homelessness every year and the effects can be devastating. 

Centrepoint supports young people to recover their health and find a job and home of their own. Their approach works and 86% of those they work with leave Centrepoint positively. 

Please sponsor me as much as you can because although I'm spending just one night outside of my comfort zone, homeless young people will have faced much worse. Every little helps, especially as Barclays will be matching every donation, £4£!

Thanks so much, in advance
