Story
I am participating in the London Marathon 2025 to raise funds for The Children's Society, a national charity dedicated to counselling and supporting young people through their most serious life challenges. Challenges that no child should face, nor face alone. Children in this country who are suffering from poverty, hunger, sexual abuse, exploitation and substance abuse. These are our most vulnerable children and are targeted by those who can cause the most unthinkable harm. These are our young people who suffer from mental health issues, addiction, and who shoulder the heavy burden as young carers.
When someone in the family is addicted to drugs or alcohol, it can cause stress, violence and neglect. It can make children feel confused and alone. The Children's Society is there when they need to talk and works with families to understand problem behaviours and make sure addiction doesn't get in the way of a good childhood.
With a history of 140 years, the mission of the Children’s Society is to bring hope to every child by offering safety and support to those who have no where else to turn, and by advocating for social changes that will improve their lives.
The London Marathon is not just a race, it's an opportunity to make a difference. On April 27 2025, I will join thousands of others, pushing ourselves to our physical and psychological limits, to support the causes we believe in.
By donating to my fundraising page, you can be part of this journey towards building a society where hope thrives in every child.
Together, we can create lasting change and provide the support and guidance that our young people desperately need.
Please donate what you can and be part of our endeavour to change the lives of those who need it most.
