I am excited to declare that this October I will be running the Lisbon Marathon on behalf of the London School of Economics (LSE) 'Raising and Giving foundation'. I have been given the opportunity to raise money for three charities carefully selected by the 'Raising and Giving' foundation:
Fat Macy’s Foundation (Local Charity): Fat Macy’s Foundation helps individuals transition from temporary housing through culinary training, personal support, and access to rental deposits. This initiative offers young people from disadvantaged backgrounds the chance to secure stable housing and improve their income and employment prospects in London. I strongly support this cause, as it addresses the social injustices caused by wealth inequality and the cost of living crisis. For more information you can visit: https://www.fatmacys.org/
Stonewall (National Charity):
Founded in 1989, Stonewall champions LGBTQ+ rights and promotes equality across schools, politics, media, and law. Known for impactful programs like the Rainbow Laces campaign and Workplace Empowerment Programme, Stonewall ensures freedom, equity, and protection for the LGBTQ+ community. Their work profoundly impacts lives nationwide. For more information you can visit: https://www.stonewall.org.uk/
Safe Passage (International Charity)
Safe Passage aids unaccompanied child refugees in Europe, helping them reunite with their families and find safe havens in France, Greece, and the UK. Their efforts have facilitated the safe passage of over 2,500 child refugees. Supporting this charity is crucial for the safety and justice of refugee children worldwide. For more information you can visit: https://www.safepassage.org.uk/
I ran the London Big Half last year in 1h 25m and loved the experience. I enjoy having goals to work towards, and running my first full marathon is my next milestone before I turn 20. With my training well underway, I am hoping to achieve a strong time in Lisbon while supporting these meaningful causes.
I would really appreciate it if you could help me to raise funds for these charities by donating what you can. Every penny counts! Your contributions will help to make a difference. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
