As i'm turning 4-0 this year i wanted another challenge to face, so i chose the Robin Hood half marathon. I have thought lots about the charities i would like to raise money for and concluded with Nottingham Women's Aid. They promote the protection of women and children who have experienced or are experiencing domestic violence and provide temporary refuge on request for women who have experienced domestic violence and abuse of a mental, physical, emotional, psychological or financial nature within an intimate or family type relationship or who have been subject to rape or sexual abuse. To provide advice, support and practical help to any woman who seeks it whether or not she is a resident of the refuge.
Unfortunately domestic violence is common, can destroy so many lives and can be fatal.... for those without family support, victims need places like this.... imagine living every day in fear, walking on egg shells, losing the person you spent your life becoming, and yet being physically and psychologically trapped in the situation.... and that doesn't even start to describe people's experiences.
So, I'm raising money to help these people, and hopefully save lives, and restore women's and children's happiness a little :)
Please donate whatever you can to support me in my life goal and to help those in need.
Thank you x x x
