I am running the London Landmarks Half Marathon for Cosy Coats. Cosy Coats provides brand new, warm, fashionable coats and boots for children in the UK at Winter.

A coat is like a warm hug, it not only provides warmth and keeps kids dry, but it is also something that they can wear with pride. At Cosy Coats we say a coat gives a child warmth and self esteem.

Cosy Coats doesn't do hand-me-downs. Many of the children we support own very little for themselves and a Cosy Coat is something that will be theirs only.

I am running the half marathon with 7 other people from the rail industry or teaching professions. You can find out more about Cosy Coats on the website www.cosycoats.co.uk.
