I am running Paris Half Marathon in support of the Women’s Foundation because this cause is deeply personal to me. Having experienced abuse as a child and witnessed my loved ones being abused, I understand how deeply abuse can affect individuals and families, and how important it is for women and girls to feel safe and supported. These experiences have shaped my desire to help raise awareness and support organisations that work to create a safer and more equal world for women and girls. I believe that everyone deserves to live free from fear, violence and abuse, and that every woman and girl should have the opportunity to feel valued, heard and supported. Running the Paris Half Marathon is a personal challenge, but it is also an opportunity to turn difficult experiences into something positive. By fundraising for the Women’s Foundation, I hope to contribute to meaningful change, support the charity’s important work and help give a voice to those who may feel unable to speak out. This challenge means far more to me than crossing a finish line. It represents strength, resilience and the belief that our past experiences do not have to define our future. If sharing my story and taking on this challenge can help even one woman or girl feel less alone, or help make a difference in someone’s life, then every step will be worth it. I would be incredibly grateful for any support and donations to help me reach my fundraising goal and support this cause that means so much to me . There are no small donations. Donations are processed through Alvarum. It is very easy and 100% secure. Thank you for your help! Tia
