I'm running the Royal Parks Half Marathon on October 13th to raise money for Thread Ahead, a charity providing free brand new clothes, toiletries, and accessories to people with insecure immigration status.

Thread Ahead tackles two issues: pollution caused by the fashion industry and poor access to quality clothing faced by refugees and asylum seekers. They redirect brand new clothes away from incineration or landfill, offering them to people with insecure immigration status at pop-up events. You can find out more about their vital work here: https://threadahead.org/

As a small charity, any small donation will have a tangible impact. For less than the price of a pint in London, you can help one refugee get new clothing, toiletries, and accessories at one of their events. Just £15 can provide access for a whole family.

Those who know me will know that I love to run, but often struggle to motivate myself to get outside and do it. Please help me get out of bed and raise funds for an incredibly worthy cause.
