I am running the Hackney Half to raise £300 for Shelter. In England, 1.7 million people are affected by the housing emergency - living without a safe home or in poorly maintained rental or temporary housing, often with damp and mould. Thousands of children are among them.

Every step counts toward helping people secure a safe, stable home. Shelter provides vital support and fights for long-term change, and I am proud to carry their message during my training and on race day.

If you can, please donate - every contribution makes a difference. Help me support the fight for home, because home is everything.
