I started running last year and have plucked up the courage to take on the Great Eastern Run this October. I am nervous to say the least!
But I know the thought that will see me through the difficult miles (i.e. all of them) will be the thought of raising money for a local cause which makes a huge difference to the lives of vulnerable girls and women in and around Peterborough.
The Peterborough Rape Crisis Centre is a small, largely volunteer-run organisation, which is constantly battling to keep its funding up.
It's a cliche, but really even small donations make a big difference:
£2-£5 can provide writing material for therapy sessions, such as journals to help them make sense of their emotions after an attack
£5-£10 will cover a a month's travel for a survivor to attend their weekly sessions
£10 will cover the cost of one room for a survivor for the month of their couselling sessions.
For more information on the wonderful work the team does, visit www.peterboroughrapecrisis.co.uk
Thank you so much. See you on the other side. Bring cake and wine.
