Story

Dear Family & Friends,

🏃‍♀️ I'm running the Hackney Half – and I need your support! 🌟

On Sunday 18th May I’ll be pounding the pavements of East London for 13.1 miles (yes, a whole half marathon!) in support of our work at forRefugees.

I’ve set myself a target of £1,000 to raise urgently needed funds for refugee mums, dads and children who’ve lost so much - and who need kindness now more than ever.

Training should have involved a lot of early mornings, sore legs and wondering why on earth I signed up for this, but I don't think I've trained enough! I know on the day it's your support for such an urgent need that will keep me going.

If you can spare a few pounds you’ll be helping provide food, shelter, medical care and other vital support to people facing the toughest of times - and you’ll give me a massive boost as I (hopefully) cross that finish line with a smile!

Thanks so much for your support today - we'll do this together! 💪🧡
