This year I’ve decided to swap cosy weekends and sane hobbies for something a bit more… unhinged. I’m running, climbing, scrambling, leaping out of planes and basically testing every muscle in my body — all to raise money for Crisis, the national charity working to end homelessness.

Because right now, thousands of people don’t have somewhere safe to sleep, wash, eat or just breathe. Crisis help people rebuild their lives with things like housing support, training, wellbeing services and long-term help to stay out of homelessness for good. Every donation you give helps someone get back on their feet — and that’s worth every blister and shaky-kneed moment I’m about to have.

I’m buzzing and slightly terrified to be doing this with my brilliant pals Zoe & Nat! We’re training together, turning up together and fundraising together - because ending homelessness takes a team!
