I am running this year's Run Reigate Half Marathon for local charity Stripey Stork.

Stripey Stork is a baby bank that collects and redistributes baby and children’s items to families in Surrey and Croydon who are experiencing hardship — making sure every child has the essentials they need to grow, thrive and learn.

For me, this isn’t just an ambitious personal challenge, it’s also about giving back. Over the past year I’ve donated pre-loved items to Stripey Stork, but now I want to do even more to support their vital work.

My fundraising target is £150 – every donation, big or small, will make a real difference to local families experiencing hardship, and will also help give me the motivation I need to cross that finish line.

Thank you so much for your support.

Lizzie
