Story

Hello lovely friends and family

We have decided to take on a big challenge and run, yes run, 13.1 miles through London to raise money for a very important charity, close to our hearts.

The charity we are running for is Refuge who are committed to a world where domestic violence is not tolerated or ignored and where women and children can live in safety.

We have started our training which is tough but we are determined to not only run the whole way in a decent time (agh!) but also to smash our target of £1,000.

So we are very grateful for your sponsorship and we hope that some of you might be able to come and cheer us along too! (10th Oct)

Thank you so much for your support of this very important cause

  • £10 could allow a woman to buy her child essential materials for school – many women arrive at Refuge with nothing but the clothes they are wearing and do not have the means to buy the things they need.
  •  

  • £50 could fund a session of play therapy for a group of four children, helping them to overcome the trauma of witnessing or experiencing violence.
  •  

  • £75 could fund a local support group session for women who have experienced domestic violence.
