Story

Thanks so much for visiting my JustGiving page!

Next Saturday, 23rd August, I’ll be taking part in the Triathlon Montriond Morzine Avoriaz to raise money for Anawim. The triathlon involves a 750m lake swim, a 20km cycle through (and up!) the Alps, and a 5km run. Those who’ve seen me during training will know just how scared I am about this challenge – but I'll be keeping in mind the importance of Anawim’s work in helping women, and what that means to me. That’s why I’m determined to give this everything, because I know it’ll be worth every aching muscle if it helps raise money to provide support for women.

Anawim brings together women from all walks of life, helping them understand the impact of trauma and begin the healing process. Through casework, group work, counselling, events and more, they empower women to overcome difficulties and move towards a brighter future for themselves and their families. Being able to connect with and support women through our drop-in service is incredibly meaningful to me.

I would be so grateful for any donations, big or small – your support will mean the world to me and to the women Anawim works with.

Thank you for believing in me 💙 See you on the other side!
