On Sunday 11th October, I will be running the fantastic Royal Parks Half Marathon in London in aid of Resolve.

The Royal Parks Half Marathon is London’s original half marathon, run on closed roads through four of the eight Royal Parks as well as being the greenest race of its kind in the UK

Resolve is a Letchworth-based charity supporting and helping local residents from Letchworth, Baldock and across Hertfordshire in the grip of alcohol and drug misuse.

Last year they supported 365 local people; that’s 365 lives transformed. A father regaining stability and reconnecting with his children, a woman rebuilding her life after years of dependency and a young person choosing recovery over relapse.

‘Thank you Resolve. You are literally Lifesavers!’

Resolve’s life changing, sometimes life-saving, services - which include group therapy sessions, dedicated 121 key work and access to counselling - are free to attend but not free to run and rely entirely on fundraising.

So any donation, big or small, you can make as I train all summer and prepare for this amazing race would be massively appreciated and used well to support those who need help.

Thank you so very much.
