Safeline is a charity that I have been supporting for the past few years now. Sexual abuse is a topic that is very rarely talked about by people and the media. In the odd time it is brought up, people seem to shy away from actually talking about what happens and the effects. It wasn't until I found out about Safeline that I realised how common sexual abuse really is. It does not discriminate between gender, race or culture, and most likely someone you know has gone through some form of sexual abuse in their lifetime.
Safeline has supported over 100,000 people since it was founded. I sadly know people who have used their services - people affected by sexual abuse - but I am relieved that Safeline exists to help them.
I am hoping that my fundraising can help raise awareness, prevent the abuse and support those that have gone through it.
That's why I'm running in the London Marathon 2025.
About Safeline
Safeline is a specialist sexual abuse charity that supports survivors from age 3 upwards and those affected by it. Not only do they provide support but they also work to prevent its occurrence through prevention and early intervention initiatives. Their services are free to access, professionally accredited, and confidential.
In Warwickshire, they provide counselling, creative therapies, Independent Sexual Violence Advocacy, and Prevention & Early Intervention services. They also provide the Warwickshire & Coventry Survivors Helpline (0808 800 5008).
Across England and Wales, they run the National Male Survivor Helpline (0808 800 5005) and the National Telephone & Online Counselling Service for survivors aged 16+ of child sexual abuse experienced under the age of 18.
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’.
