STAR - Steps to Active Recovery - helps those suffering with, or affected by, addiction and destructive habits to regain their true identities, reconnect with their community, and bring hope within the brokenness of addiction.

I have volunteered at this charity for three consecutive summers at my local church, listening to people share their stories on the hardships they've been through, the addictions they've faced, but most of all, how they have been able to make the steps to recover. STAR is a great charity with supportive and friendly members who have a heart to help those break free from addiction cycles.

To support this charity, I am running a marathon in Bath on 17th August, and I hope that through this, I can raise money to help STAR with its ongoing efforts to help others. My inner healing journey which started 5 years ago, has helped me recover from my own personal challenges and has grown a passion in me to help those going through trauma and been stuck on addictive cycles as a result.

My passion is to keep on going to overcome my challenges in life and encourage others to achieve the same. To spread the faith that we can win the race!
