Step Out, Blood Cancer, British Heart Foundation

I’m running the London Marathon in April and would love to use this opportunity to raise money for three great charities: Step Out, British Heart Foundation and Blood Cancer Research.

Step Out provides a mentoring programme for young people living in Southwark. I’ve been volunteering with them for over a year and have seen the huge impact that they have within the local community. Step Out works to connect mentors and mentees to help guide kids through what can be a difficult time. The key to Step Out's ethos is in the name, the main principle to helping kids grow and navigate a tough period of life is to do activities and sports outside.

The second charity is the British Heart Foundation. I chose this charity is because this cause is close to my heart having lost my father at the age of 19 to a heart attack, it is my hope that aiding this great charity may help save other families from the pain we felt.

The third charity is in aid of blood cancer research. Recently a friend of mine has had treatment for Leukemia and I'd love to help support my friend
