Thanks for visiting my Just Giving page.

Power the Fight is an award-winning charity which tackles violence affecting young people. PTF creates long-term solutions for sustainable change and acts as a link between the community and policy makers. Most of our work is with young people, families, schools, local authorities, faith groups and community organisations who want to be equipped to engage with youth violence issues in their context.

I've had the privilege of watching this organisation grow and flourish under the leadership of their founder and CEO. my friend, Ben Lindsay. As an academic I've learnt so much, and continue to do so, from the work they do to put our research and others into practice. So now it's my time to give something back.

From a planned c section in March 23, a Mummy MOT and work with an osteopath in May 23, a couch to 5k over the summer and my first post pregnancy 10k at the start of September I'm just about ready to take on my first half marathon. And I couldn't think of a better cause through which to channel that hard work.
