This is the fifth year I've run the Cheltenham half marathon, which makes it a bit less of a challenge (except I am properly old now!). But I've always raised a bit of money for the Nia project and want to do so again.

Nia, has been fighting violence against women and girls since 1975. They support around 2000 women/year across a range of services including prostitution exiting, rape crisis, domestic violence and play therapy.

They deliver frontline services to women and undertake research. Increasingly we need to advocate for women to try to ensure that they can access rights, justice and support and we achieve more together than alone.

The picture shows this in action - women, lawyers, violence against women's services and nia altogether after a win!
