Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My journey with running started ten years ago, this will be my twelfth half marathon and the second time that I've run the Royal Parks half. I have lived experience of the criminal justice system and have seen first hand the benefits education can bring to people in prison.

Prisoners' Education Trust fund 120 different distance learning courses for people in prison. Take a look at the range of courses on offer.

How your donation will help

£500 will fund a distance learning course for a person in prison. Not just any course but one that will contribute to turning their life around and once released not ending up back inside.

People have different study aims, often a primary one being to enhance job prospects. My personal focus for this run is to think about additional benefits of education such as helping people improve their mental and physical wellbeing.

If I were to choose a distance learning course it would be Nutrition to Support Physical Activity and Exercise. Let me know what your course choice would be in the comments when you donate!
