Why this matters to us

As some of you may know, we very much enjoy running! In April, we’ll be taking on the London Marathon to raise money for a cause that’s incredibly important to us: helping to end homelessness and make life a little more bearable for those experiencing it.

If you’re able to donate, any amount really does make a difference, and we’re incredibly grateful for your support. 

David: Alongside marathon training, I’ll be completing the second in a Long Run series (20–27 March) - running the entire circumference of the Isle of Wight. That’s around 70 miles on coastal trails, certainly an arduous challenge! Then on 26th April, we’ll both be taking on the London Marathon.

Liv: The Passage is a charity I’ve been fortunate enough to get to know through my work. They provide life-changing support, from food and showers to vital (short and long-term) accommodation, as well as opportunities for people with lived experience to help shape and improve the services they receive. This approach really resonates with me, and I hope that whatever we’re able to raise will help support their work and the people going through very difficult cirumstances. 

We are proud to be running for the many people we know - and hear about far too often- who are struggling to make ends meet. They’ll be firmly in our heart and minds as we tick off the miles on marathon day.

Last year, the Passage prevented 2,261 people from homelessness, 3,007 received help across the charity's range of services and 46,226 gained an essential nourishing meal at their day centre.

Thank you so much for supporting us and for giving whatever you can - it really does mean a lot 😊

If you’re able, please remember to opt in to Gift Aid, which boosts your donation by 25% at no extra cost.

Lots of love,

Livvy & David Xx
