Story
Hey guys! Thanks for taking the time to visit my page :)
This year, I have decided to run the London Landmarks Half Marathon for a wonderful charity called The Vavengers. This charity is committed to ending FGM (Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting) and other forms of Violence Against Women and Girls. They do this through:
- Campaigning - Ensuring GBV is included in the social and political agenda.
- Direct support - 121 support and support hubs across London.
- Education - Creating safe spaces for survivors to share their stories and knowledge
Last year, I went along to one of their support hubs and was lucky enough to hear from survivors of FGM about their experience. These women are incredibly brave and it made me feel really motivated to spread awareness about this topic.
I'd like to use my platform on social media to help this charity gain more recognition for the work they do, whilst pairing it with my own running training. I hope you can take some time to read and learn more about FGM and its impact on women, and donate some money to this incredible charity.
Thank you in advance for supporting this charity!!
