My Story
If you're reading this and know me, you will understand one of two things, why PACT charity is so important to me and my boys, and how much I love running marathons...
When deciding to take on the challenge of running the London Marathon in 2023, I knew almost instantly that my chosen charity would be PACT, not just because of my own personal journey, but what they as a charity stand for and their mission. PACT work tirelessly to esnure that the services they provide promotive positive experiences and outcomes for not just adoptive parents, but more importantly the children.
Children within the care system are placed in care for no fault of their own and some often find it difficult to find their forever home. With PACTs support and guidance, children are given the opportunity to change the path in which they have entered. PACT aims to empower, encourage and enlighten all children to recognise that their journey in this world is just beginning. With extensive therapy and support, children are given the opportunity to start again, to become anything they want to be, with no barriers or limitations.
As an adoptive parent of two beautiful, energetic, funny young boys I feel it is essential to raise money to not just raise awareness of adoption, but to support charities like PACT that have made a difference to the lives of so many. Being an adoptive parent can be challenging at times, dealing with the traumas and experiences that the children bring with them and PACT support all of this by giving 24/7 guidance and support. Without chartities like PACT, it would be near enough be impossible to achieve stable, loving and succesful families all across the country, so for those reason alone, I ask for your support. I would like to raise as much money as I possibly can to promote and support such a wonderful charity. So even if it's a pound, or supporting me at the finish line, myself and PACT would be forever grateful.
Thank you so much
