Please support me on my journey from (almost) zero to running 10k in 8 weeks, finishing with running the Leeds 10k on 21 November.
I'm running for Women’s Health Matters where I work. We champion freedom for disadvantaged women and girls so they may have a fair chance at a better life. These women are most at risk, including those experiencing domestic violence, sexual and emotional abuse, those with children in care or at risk of being removed, young mums, women seeking asylum, women with learning difficulties, and women with complex needs or mental health and wellbeing needs. We take a woman-centred holistic approach, creating a safe, nurturing environment to help women recover their confidence, explore their own needs and regain control over their lives.
Over 94% of women we work with intensively have improved wellbeing, better physical health and feel more empowered to make their own choices. 88% of those experiencing abuse change or end their relationship. 93% of those we help say we provided support unavailable elsewhere.
