Charlotte and I are running a half marathon to raise money for Shelter, and we'd love your support!

We're a bit of a mismatched pair. Charlotte is a genuinely good runner and she's chasing a new PB. I'm distinctly average, and my goal is simply to cross the finish line in one piece! Either way, we've both been training hard, clocking up the miles, and we're really excited for race day.

We're running for Shelter because home is everything. It's where we feel safe, where families grow, and where life happens. But right now, too many people don't have a place to call home. It's estimated that 1.7 million people are affected by the housing emergency, either trying to get by without a safe home or living with damp and mould in poorly maintained rented or temporary housing.

Shelter defends the right to a safe home and fights the devastating impact of the housing emergency. Every pound we raise will help them support families and individuals facing homelessness and unfit housing.

Whether you're backing Charlotte's PB or just hoping I make it round, please give whatever you can. Thank you!
