Thank you for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We are Sally and Georgie!

As long-time friends and passionate runners, we are excited to put our friendship and running skills to the test by participating in the adidas Manchester Marathon on April 19, 2026.

We have completed a number of running events, both separately and together including half-marathons and a marathon; this will be Sally's first Marathon and it will be an amazing experience to cross that finish line together!

Our journey began in 2018 while working together in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). Over the years, we have witnessed the profound impact of violence and abuse on young people and their families. This experience has fueled our commitment to advocate for those who are suffering. We have seen firsthand the incredible work done by charities like Staffordshire Women's Aid, which has been a beacon of hope for individuals affected by domestic and sexual abuse for over 50 years.

Staffordshire Women's Aid provides vital support to women and children across Staffordshire who are experiencing or recovering from violence. Their dedication to helping victims rebuild their lives is truly inspiring. We believe that every step we take during this marathon can help raise awareness and funds for this essential cause.

We kindly ask for your support in reaching our fundraising target of £500. Your generous donations will go directly to Staffordshire Women's Aid through JustGiving, ensuring that your contribution makes a real difference in the lives of those who need it most. Donating is simple, fast, and secure—your details are safe with JustGiving as they never sell them or send unwanted emails.

Together, let’s make a positive impact in our community. Thank you for your support!
