Arabella is tackling the Royal Parks Half Marathon on 13th October for Turn2us. Having currently never run further than 10K, she’s now bracing herself for the 13.1-mile route through London’s scenic parks; despite the impending blisters and muscle aches, she knows it will all be worth it to support such a fantastic charity!

Turn2us is a national charity offering practical help and support to people struggling financially.

According to the government's own figures, 14.4 million people are living in poverty in the UK including 4.2 million children, 8.1 million working-age adults and 2.1 million pensioners.

Turn2us is committed to tackling the injustice of this financial insecurity and inequality.
