Hi all,

I have decided to run the Hackney Half Marathon this May to help raise funds for a great charity, City Harvest.

City Harvest is a brilliant charity that re-distributes food to some of the most vulnerable communities in London. City Harvest rescue food from retailers, manufacturers, distributors, events and supply them to organisations such as schools, community centres, food banks, homeless charities, soup kitchens and refugee centres.

In doing so, they help solve some of London’s biggest problems: Waste. Inequality. Isolation.

By re-distributing food that would otherwise be wasted, City Harvest make businesses more sustainable and more impactful. They take food to grassroots organisations that feed some of our most vulnerable and deserving fellow Londoners: The oldest. The youngest. The newest arrivals and the people with the deepest roots in the city.

Sharing food – nourishing others – is one of the simplest, most powerful ways of showing we care. City Harvest is committed to doing just that, across London and beyond.

More information can be found at https://cityharvest.org.uk/

If you have made it this far and are thinking about donating, know that what ever you can donate will be doubled by my employer, who have agreed to match all donations in support of this charity run.

Thank you in advanced for your kind donations.
