I am running the Royal Parks Half Marathon for a very worthy cause this year - Making the Leap are a social mobility charity that helps young people to develop skills that will allow them to get into meaningful employment.

In order to achieve this, Making the Leap provide skills training, school and mentoring programmes, and partner with businesses who want to drive forward social mobility via learning programmes, internships and ultimately - job opportunities.

If you have ever had a leg up, in fact even if you had parents that liked you and helped you (or perhaps if you didn't) - I would ask you to consider giving a small sum of money to this very worthy cause.
