Katie and Paddy are running the Hackney Half Marathon for War Child on May 17th - the charity Katie has worked at for the past year.

Right now, 1 in 5 children around the world are living through conflict. That’s 520 million children.💔

War Child is driven by a single goal: ensuring a safe future for every child living through war. 🩵

Through emergency mental health support, education and child protection, War Child stands up for the rights of children in some of the hardest places on earth. 🌍

During war, children suffer severe psychological trauma, lose access to school, and often become vulnerable to separation from their families and caregivers.🫶

War Child’s teams on the ground across the Middle East, Africa, Ukraine and Afghanistan are completely incredible. 🌟

We’ve smashed through our initial target of £1000 with so many of you being so kind - thank you SO much!!! And so we’re raising it to £2000 (hopefully more!) to help War Child continue to be there for children who need it most. Any amount would mean the world - thank you so much. ❤️
