Children are living in war zones, watching their families being murdered as they run away to escape their own death, rape or enslavement. Children whose families have lost their homes through debt are living in filthy hostels full of drug dealing and despair. Children are living rough to escape abuse at home. Children are sacrificing their childhoods to look after parents who are unable to look after them.

The Children's Society is working to help these children and improve their lives, through government policy advocacy and practical support. 

I don't really like running very much but I love writing. So when the Children's Society asked me to support them by doing a 10K in support of their charity and then blogging about it, I saw a great opportunity to help disadvantaged children whilst doing something healthy for me too.

It would mean a lot to me if you fancied donating a bob or two to support this great charity.
