Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As you may know, my sister and I recently lost our lovely Mum to cancer. One of the most wonderful things about our lives has been that we started out from such a safe and secure home, something I am all too aware that not all young people have the luck to benefit from.

So, on October 12th, I am diverting my attention from rowing and getting my running shoes on to take part in the London Royal Parks Half Marathon. I will be raising money for Centrepoint, and more specifically to support their work helping young people to get a decent start into adult life.

When a young person has no safe space to call their own and has been let down repeatedly, they can lose confidence in themselves and what they can achieve.

Donations raised from this run will help Centrepoint in their work funding rooms for young people who would otherwise be homeless, helping them get that all-important secure start into adult life.

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. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

No donation too small - it all adds up :-)
