Trust House is a charity based in Reading which provides counseling services to those affected by sexual assault and rape. The charity allows a safe space for people to work through their trauma no matter what they have experienced. As a free service it allows everyone the opportunity to talk about their experience and regain confidence and self love. Most importantly the service reminds people they are not alone.

I will be running the Reading half marathon in order to raise money for Trust House. Running has always had a huge benefit on my mental health and allowed a space for me to forget about any stress and anxiety I may be feeling. Last year I experienced an assault whilst out for a run in the middle of the day. Trust house worked with me to regain my confidence and love for running which I am so grateful for. This will be my first half marathon and I would love to raise some money for the charity that has provided support to me and so many others.
