I'm running the half marathon to raise money for Glasgow and Clyde Rape Crisis. This is a fantastic charity that provide emotional support to women and girls in the area who have experienced rape or sexual violence. 

The charity offers a range of services, including help dealing with speaking to the police and tackling the legal system (if the person chooses to). Glasgow and Clyde Rape Crisis can help organise any sexual health testing thats required. They will provide you with as much or as little emotional support as you need. 

 Most importantly: they will believe you. 

Whether it was recent, or historical, Glasgow and Clyde Rape Crisis are an excellent charity, providing essential support to those who need it. 

I used to be hella fit. I rowed competitively and was on my feet working in bars and restaurants for 50-60 hours a week. Now I kinda just... don't. I don't really do regular exercise, and it's been over 7 years since I did any distance running. But! I am determined to do it. I will do it.

URGH! OK LET'S GO!

The AJ Bell Great Scottish Run is the biggest and best running event in Scotland. Starting in the heart of the city, runners soak up the incredible atmosphere and music all the way to the finish in Glasgow Green.
