Hi, Pete here - thank you for coming to my page! I'm taking on the 26.2 miles in April for the charity Alabaré. Alabaré are local to my hometown in Salisbury but do amazing work with loads of different people who need a helping hand all over the country. As a serving member of the Armed Forces myself, their work with vulnerable and homeless veterans is particularly close to my heart.
I am so incredibly grateful for any donations you may be able to give, no matter the size!
Who are Alabaré?
Alabaré supports vulnerable, homeless and marginalised people, with some specially focussed support for British Armed Forces veterans.
As a homeless charity, last year, they supported 2,894 people through their extensive network of homes, drop-in centres, and specialised support services, and demand for their services continues to grow.
Alabaré Homes for Veterans provides supported accommodation to British Armed Forces veterans who are homeless or at risk of becoming so. Support includes help with mental wellbeing and support accessing future employment, especially in light of personal problems such as addiction, and health issues, both mental and physical.
£50 could help a homeless person on the first steps back to employment.
£125 pays for a homeless young person to be trained in a profession based qualification.
£250 can help homeless young people move successfully into their own home along with a pack of moving essentials.
£950 can refurbish and "future proof" a room in Alabaré's homeless shelters and support a homeless person off the streets.
About the London Marathon
The London Marathon has become an annual, inspiring and colourful fixture in the world’s sporting calendar since the inaugural race on 29 March 1981: a celebration of fun, fundraising and fancy dress.
Over the years more than a million people have completed the 26.2-mile course – which runs from Blackheath to The Mall, with a spectacular finish in front of Buckingham Palace, showcasing the very best that the capital city has to offer.
What’s more, these participants have raised over a billion pounds for charity and there have been countless amazing tales of human achievement throughout the event’s history – living up to its aim of helping participants ‘to have fun, and provide some happiness and sense of achievement in a troubled world’.
