I supported the Children's Society when I ran the marathon way back in 2000. As a considerably older person, I am attempting it again and it feels right to support them again. They are a national charity, working with young people to counsel and support them through their most serious life challenges. They campaign tirelessly for the big social changes that will improve the lives of those who need hope most. They have been doing this for 140 years and won't stop until they've built a society where hope is alive in every child.
