Why run for Women’s Aid?
“Fundraising as part of #TeamWomensAid has been super fun and easy! I have had incredible support from the team. Women’s Aid will always be a charity close to my heart, so when I decided to challenge myself to a half marathon, it was a no brainer! You are accepted into a community of like-minded people who look out for you.”
Fundraiser
