Hi All,

On 29th Sept, we'll be running the Torbay 1/2 Marathon (13 miles) and using this as an opportunity to raise money for Children and War UK.

We've chosen this charity, because now more than ever, children across the globe are being psychologically damaged by war, be that in Ukraine, one of the 45 armed conflicts taking place in the Middle East and North Africa, or any other war-torn territory the world over.

Children and War UK is an incredible charity, which, through training and research, develops and delivers psychological support for children who are traumatised by wars and other disasters worldwide. See their website for full details (link at the bottom of this page).

In order to reduce the long term psychological impact on such young, fragile lives, Children and War UK need financial support to train professionals, and that's where you come in.

We know times are tough for a lot of people and you're perpetually being asked to 'dig deep'. Please do not feel pressured into donating if you cannot afford it, but if you can and are able, literally every penny counts so anything you can do to provide some sponsorship for this amazing cause, would be, as always, massively appreciated. Just donate what you are able, whether that's 50p or £10.

We'll be sure to post my training journey via this page so you know for sure, we're not slacking! Thank you once again for even considering supporting this essential, incredible cause.

All the best,

Jake & Ben
