I'm running the London Landmarks Half Marathon to raise money for the National Literacy Trust.

I've been a teacher for 7 years now and the importance of literacy cannot be understated. Good literacy impacts all aspects of a child's learning and life, it's not just reading but accessing ideas, opening up opportunities and giving them a voice. Good literacy skills can change the course of a young person's life, so I'm doing a little run to support the National Literacy Trust in their work making a big difference

The National Literacy Trust are an independent charity that support young people in early years, primary and secondary settings.

All and any donations are gratefully received - thank you in advance :)
