“I escaped an abusive relationship last year. I had all of the support from my family and friends to get me out safely and fly me home from the other side of the world. I wanted to raise money for all of the women who might now have the support I had, and help raise money to give them the shelter and freedom they need.
(The Hackney Half) was incredible. The vibes were high, and Refuge cheered us on at the 6 mile mark. I actually cried crossing the finish line!
I ran for the version of me that didn’t think she could be free. I am so strong and brave and relentless!"
