I’m participating in the Hackney Half Marathon 2025 to support Shine, a charity that provides support to individuals living with spina bifida and/or hydrocephalus, as well as their families and caregivers. My inspiration comes from witnessing the positive impact Shine has had on people like my sister, Hazel, who have benefited from their services. By joining this half marathon, I hope to raise funds that will enable Shine to continue empowering people to live their best lives. Your generous donation will directly contribute to supporting individuals and families in local communities across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Together, we can make a profound impact. Thank you for supporting Shine!
