On May 25th, I’ll be running the Edinburgh Half Marathon in support of Refuge — a charity that means a great deal to me and my family.

I’m doing this for the two strongest women I know, my mum and Tils, and to prove to myself I am stronger. I can’t wait to take on this challenge for a cause so close to our hearts.

I’m aiming to raise at least £500 for this incredible charity, and any donations or support would mean the world. Thank you!

One in four women will experience domestic abuse at some point in their lifetime and on average one woman is killed every 5 days in England and Wales by a current or former partner.

Refuge is the largest single provider of specialist services to survivors of domestic, sexual and gender-based abuse and runs the freephone, 24-hour National Domestic Abuse Helpline that provides the first step to women escaping abuse. 

By kindly sponsoring me today you are helping to save and change the lives of thousands of women and their children. Thank you
