Virgin London Marathon 2011 · 17 April 2011 ·

Refuge opened the world’s first refuge in West London in 1971. We support thousands of women & children every day, experiencing domestic and sexual violence, female genital mutilation, forced marriage, stalking, trafficking, prostitution & so-called ‘honour’ based violence.

Story

I'm attempting to raise lots of money to do one of the stupidist things I've ever signed up for!!! I want to run the London Marathon. I've been looking into which charity I'd like to run for and have found one who's simply inspired me.

The Charity is called Refuge. Refuge work to help women and children who are victims of domestic violence around the UK. Refuge helps more than a thousand women and children every day. These victims desperately need support to escape domestic violence. Your donation will help me, help women and children to build new, safe lives - free from the fear of violence.

Here's the science...

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
