My story
It's been postponed again, but I'm still gonna run it!
If 5000 people could give just £1 each, it would MAKE A MASSIVE DIFFERENCE - allowing people to access their services in many different ways.
My Journey so far. Revival provided a safe and secure place for me to start the journey of accepting who I am. Initially, I was terrified of contacting them, but the specialist trauma trained, kind and knowledgeable staff at Revival made this part of my journey much easier and immediately understood the barriers to knowing the truth I was facing. Over time, my counsellor helped me understand the effects trauma has had in my brain and body, by using an approach which assumes all of our reactions to trauma - even the seemingly bad ones - are parts of ourselves that need empathy and kindness rather than denial and rejection. This is tough work and at times I thought it impossible to heal from - but - I have made progress. I'm now living what I once thought impossible - from a phobia of saying the words 'sexual abuse' - to having the Revival logo emblazoned on my T shirt as I run the half. Having people's names on this shirt as I run will inspire me to keep going when it gets tough for me, running anything more than 100 metres is not easy.
