Running for life

Combining my love for running with my determination to help victims of rape and sexual abuse through raising funds and awareness of this brilliant charity, RoSA.

RoSA helps victims know they are not alone when recovering from horrific trauma. Although times are changing and slowly sexual abuse is no longer the taboo subject it once was, for victims it is such an unbelievabley difficult thing to talk about. The effects of not talking become all consuming and utterly debilitating, for so many people RoSA have been the initial lifeline that enable those conversations and that release of pressure that grips many victims.

I hope to raise money to support this great charity but just as importantly I hope to increase awareness of the support they can provide. They may just be the first step someone needs.

Having completed several ultramarthons this may seem like a small deal for an ultra runner... Trust me it isn't!! I've really had to reduce my running over the last 18 months and only starting to rebuild the distance since summer. But this race isn't about the distance it's about the journey and what it means so please do dig deep and donate what you can!
