Edinburgh Half Marathon for Emilie's Charities

I'm lacing up my running shoes for the Edinburgh Half Marathon to support the incredible work of Emilie's Charities.

This is a charity very close to my heart and was set up in memory of my friend Emilie Harris who was tragically killed in a cycling accident in Oxford in 2004.

The charity aims to change the lives of young people through education.

Since its inception, Emilie’s Charities has sought to support under-privileged children and young adults in developing countries, particularly through their education. Over thirty students have now received qualifications, both academic and practical, thanks to Emilie’s Charities. The charity has also supported additional projects in communities where the students are living.

Having not run in the past 7 years the training for this has been particularly hard so money raised will help with my motivation.

Thank you
