It's been over 12 years since I ran a half marathon and I vowed I never would again, but it looks like I'm doing another! On13th October, I will be taking part in the Royal Parks Half Marathon to support the men and women who turn to homeless charity Glass Door to find shelter and support.

I'm raising money for Glass Door because I know they are doing good work to support and shelter those in our community who are at an absolute crisis point. Glass Door welcomes everyone as their guest, giving them some stability before helping them take the necessary steps to move off the streets for good. Their doors are open to everyone year-round. In winter, they provide emergency shelters, and they offer advice and support to help people move beyond homelessness throughout the year.

Please donate anything you can. Together, we can to provide shelter and support to someone who has no where else to turn.

Please share with family and friends on Facebook and Twitter - and beyond - so I can reach my target, and together we can bring more people in off the streets.

Thank you! Helena Whittaker
