Two winters ago I helped out at drop-in evenings for the homeless people of Colchester, there was able to get along side them and learn of some of the tragic circumstances of how and why people became homeless. They also told me about the wonderful work of Beacon House, providing hot meals, activities, showers, clothing, medical care etc. in their own, words we would have to wonder the streets from 7am -7pm if wasn't for Beacon house, There the people are friendly and show us the love of Jesus Christ accepting us we are and doing all they to get housing etc.
I took up running in August 2016 using the couch 2 5k and since December I have been preparing to run the Colchester Half Marathon since. Wanting to help and support the excellent work done by Beacon House. I am seeking to raise funds so the work may be continued and our homeless people be given the hep and support that is needed during blip in their lives.
