Bonjour à tous, and welcome to my fundraising page!

I’m raising money for **Crisis**, a brilliant charity helping people out of homelessness and back into safety, stability and dignity. This cause is close to my heart: one of my closest friends spent a long period of time on the street. It can happen to far more people than we imagine, especially in big cities like London. Homelessness is brutal, it touches every part of a person’s life — but with the right support, people *can* and *do* escape it.

So… to convince you to donate, I’ve decided to put myself through **H‑E‑L‑L** this autumn. I’m training for not one, but **two** major events:

**• Royal Parks Half Marathon — 11 October (21.3 km)**

**• Hever Castle Half‑Ironman Triathlon — 26 September (1.9 km swim, 90 km cycle, 21.3 km run)**

Yes, I know. It’s a lot. My legs know too.

Crisis works side by side with thousands of people every year, helping them access benefits, healthcare, training, employment and the support they need to rebuild their lives. Your donation genuinely helps someone move forward.

So please support this (slightly mad?) challenge and help me get through it by donating on my page. Any amount — £5, £50, or more if you’re feeling heroic — makes a real difference.

Thank you so much… and stay tuned!
