Story

Hi friends!

In an effort to bring a bit of positivity into a fairly chaotic world, I’ve decided to do something potentially quite foolish…

I’m running a half marathon, The Great North Run.13.1 miles. Almost certainly an overestimation of my abilities.

I’m doing it for the Red Cross, who provide vital support to people facing emergencies and crises, here and overseas, every day. Compared to that, a few hours of me wheezing like a French bulldog feels like the least I can do.

If you can spare a few pounds, it would mean a lot—and will genuinely help make a difference. It will also strongly motivate me to keep training on tour, when I’d much rather be lounging on the tour bus, drinking red wine, generally getting in the way, or watching reruns of Frasier.

Thank you so much ❤️

Every pound donated will make a huge difference to help those affected by crisis:

£5 could provide a community in Bangladesh with training on water sanitation and hygiene, helping people keep themselves healthy after a disaster.

£12 could buy a hygiene pack for a refugee or person seeking asylum in the UK, giving them access to some of the basics no one should go without.

£20 could give a parent in the UK the essential items they need to care for a newborn baby, when they have lost everything due to flooding.

£50 could help a family in Nigeria prepare for when severe flooding hits again.

£75 could keep 150 survivors of a fire at a block of flats in the UK warm, while we support them to find emergency accommodation for the night.

Any donation you can give would be much appreciated!
