A year or so ago, I made a promise to run the Birmingham half Marathon to raise money for Anawim (I was probably letting a couple of ales influence my decision making).

I am a rather silly and stubborn person, so have now entered the Birmingham Half Marathon to raise money for Anawim.

Sponsor me and help make a difference to the lives of the women who use Anawim’s services (and earn the right to mercilessly mock me as my body falls apart. Look at the cover photo for this Just Giving page. That is what is going to try and run over 13 miles!)

Anawim is celebrating its 40th Anniversary this year!

Anawim brings people together from a range of communities and backgrounds to help women understand the impact of their trauma and begin the healing process by overcoming difficulties and learning how to move forward to a brighter future for themselves and their families through casework, group work, events, counselling, and more.
