Raising money for Refuge

Hackney Half Marathon 2023 · 21 May 2023 ·

Refuge opened the world’s first refuge in West London in 1971. We support thousands of women & children every day, experiencing domestic and sexual violence, female genital mutilation, forced marriage, stalking, trafficking, prostitution & so-called ‘honour’ based violence.

Story

We are Andrei, Adam and Tom & we are going to take on the Hackney Half Marathon on May 21st, 2023. We are running in support Refuge - a charity that helps give new lives to women and children escaping domestic abuse.

All 3 of us have different levels of experience in running long distances, so from now until race day it will be a fun learning curve.

Adam has a couple of half marathons under his belt so he‘s going for his p.b!

Tom is super active and an occasional medium distance runner & keen to take on this challenge!

The longest races I (Andrei) ran were a couple of 10ks. I am terrified and excited to take on.

As we are from Glasgow, Bournemouth & London, respectively, it is really hard to find a pic with all of us in it :)

You can follow our training progress through our Strava updates and we will aim to add some post-run pics as well

We are grateful for your support and encouragement as we train and prepare for this challenge.
