I'm running my first marathon in October and hoping to raise £1000 for Jasmine House, an important charity in Leicester who support women and girls who have experienced sexual violence.

Jasmine House, like Rape Crisis centres across the country, has experienced years of funding cuts which has had a direct impact on the services they offer and the length of their waiting list.

Jasmine House is an important charity to me as they have supported my wife in the past.

1 in 3 women will experience sexual assault within their lifetime and charities like Jasmine House provide vital support and services for survivors.
