Story

Hello! BIG NEWS AND SMILES…I’m running the London Big Half to raise money for Hip Hop to Help.

Any pennies spare you can donate will mean the world to us as a small charity. £1200 can fund a year’s worth of monthly free dance classes - so that’s my goal!

I signed up for this in Jan and whilst it’s only just sank in that I’ve got to run 13 miles (eek), I’m running for the community I love so dearly and that’s what will keep me going in my big old heart as I’m boogieing and running🩰

I founded Hip Hop to Help in 2017 as I found it hard to afford and access dance growing up. I want to lead by example and challenge myself to raise money for a cause that is so very dear to my life. We are volunteer-led and all pennies will go towards ensuring everyone from all backgrounds can access dance🩵

Hope to see lots of you on the day too! 🏃🏻‍♀️ Thank you for your support, love you all! Here’s to the next 4 months of training for my idea of hell - I’ll do you proud.
