Barnardo's helps hundreds of thousands of children, young people, parents and carers across the UK. They don't abandon children because of who they are or what they've done. They listen to them, fight for their rights and do whatever it takes to protect and support them because they believe that all children have the right to a happy and healthy life. At a time when more young people need specialist help with complex issues like sexual abuse, mental health problems and serious violence, their work is more vital than ever.

Hello welcome to my page for the London 2025 marathon.On behalf of BARNARDOS I had the extreme honour of being apart of the 2018 team and was the best experience ever being able to help change lives and give children hope and I have been given the extreme honour to run on the 2025 team as well witch is such an amazing feeling knowing I can do this.

My story the reason I am taking on his challenge again is I really wanna get my story out there and to prove that you can still achieve your dreams and goals and want to be a example to others and help them. So my reason

When I was a child I had an extremely hard life I was born with difficulty as had breathing problems and had to remain in a coma as didn’t think I was gonna survive. But luckily I did and became a stronger baby and was able to go home but what I thought was gonna be happiness soon turned in to darkness. when my mum made an attempt on my life when there was a house fire on Christmas Day coursed by her cigaret she choose to safe her other child but leave me in the house and safe her self luckily the next door neighbors told the firefighters that I was still in there and they saved me after my mum was asked why she didn’t save me she told them that I was a mistake and I was never wanted so from then the social services kept a close eye on things. Little while later my dad at the time sexually assaulted me and used me as a toy. then he had an argument and disappeared never to be seen again this time around the Social services came to see me and they asked what all the scars and bruises were on me and they chose to try cover it up and said I had fallen over and again she said I was a mistake and I was never wanted so the social serves decided to take me away and put me in to an orphanage in this time I ran away got in to trouble as I didn’t know what was going on I went from different care homes to different foster placements but no 1 would have me as I had extreme anger and social and emotional problems. so it back in to care homes and it was a horrible upbringing knowing that no one wanted me or not loved and no parents I had no childhood no birthdays no Christmas nothing. There is more but would be her all day. But to sum this up I really wanna give my experience out to the world and prove that what ever you go through you can still achieve your dreams and goals and I have made it my goal and passion to help others anyway I can and make sure this does not happen to anyone else and the children Society gave me a chance and I feel this is my home and I can really make a difference so please help make this dream come true and help make a difference thank you xxxx

Unfortunately in this year 2020 things didn’t go very well will my mental health and resulted in me making an attempt to end my life witch ended up in a hospital if it was not for someone seeing my Facebook and calling ambulance and police I wouldn’t have made it. 2021 was my most painful time an Abusive landlord physically assaulted me and beat me have been hurt and left out on street. Everyday is a real struggle for me at the moment not thinking I’m good enough struggling with my bipolar my depression and traumatic stress disorder struggling that have no parents no body who cares it’s really difficult sometimes but that is making me stronger in my pursuit to help and inspire people as I have been through and still am some real tough times and know what it feels like so want to help make sure others don’t have to suffer and want to use this story to help and inspire that I will not be defeated no matter how bad things get. Lots of love all and please remain strong and remember you never walk alone we are in this together your all beautiful.

Unfortunately things are still extremely difficult and being diagnosed with bipolar and other mental health problems it makes it extremely difficult. But helping others and making a difference is what helps me.
