🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ Niki & Marcus Are Running a Half Marathon for ActionAid! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

We’ve done it. We’ve signed up to run a half marathon. That’s 21km of sweat, tears, snacks, and hopefully triumph — and neither of us has ever run more than 10K before. So yes, we're terrified, but determined!

We’re running as part of a team of 10 friends, raising money for ActionAid - an incredible charity that puts the rights of women and girls at the heart of everything they do.

Since we’re running on charity places, we each have a fundraising target of £400, bringing our combined goal to £800.

*Want a little bit more information?*

ActionAid is an international charity working with women and girls to create a more just, equitable, and sustainable future. They work across the world with local communities, women’s networks, and grassroots movements to tackle the root causes of poverty, inequality, and violence.

ActionAid takes a different approach to humanitarian work: it’s about shifting power. Rooted in feminist values and driven by social justice, they support women and girls not only to survive crises, but to lead, organise, and thrive in the face of injustice. By donating, you’re helping ActionAid continue this vital work — from emergency response to long-term solutions that put the leadership and rights of women and girls front and centre.

*What’s in it for you?*

A)The warm, fuzzy feeling of supporting a great cause

B) Occasional updates about our training mishaps (blisters, wonky knees, Marcus trying to eat an entire carb load in one sitting...)

C) An open invite to our pub quiz fundraising nights, where you can show off your trivia skills AND help us reach our goal

D) Bragging rights that you helped two terrific people cross the finish line

Thank you for believing in us, and in a world where women and girls can thrive 💪🌟

Let’s do this!
