Half Marathon for BeatBullying

Posted on September 6, 2012 by laurawinningham

 

Beatbullying - Beatbullying is the UK's leading anti-bullying charity. Beatbullying works directly with young people to tackle bullying at it's root causes. We provide help and support to those effected by bullying, aim to teach and change the behaviour of bullies and work with schools and communities to prevent bullying happening in the first place. In the last 5 years Beatbullying has worked with over 1.6 million young people from across the UK and has twice been named Charity of the Year at the UK charity awards. 

 

A good friend has opened my eyes to a really important organisation in the UK by running a half marathon in support of it.  Brenda has this to say:

“Have you, your children or anyone you know ever been bullied?  If so, you know what a traumatic experience it can be.  I was bullied as a child for being overweight and bookish.  I got through it, but for some children it is life-changing. Nowadays with mobile phones and social networking, there is an added threat of cyber bullying which is more pervasive.

 
I have chosen to run the Royal Parks Half Marathon on Sunday the 7th October in aid of a UK charity called BEATBULLYING.  
BeatBullying works with children and young people across the UK to stop bullying and they are raising money to increase the number of emergency online counsellors, visit schools and train ‘Mini Mentors’.
Please sponsor me for this run for a very worthy cause. “Donate now

I appreciate any support that you can give to Brenda for this very worthy cause. 

Beatbullying empowers young people so deeply affected by bullying that they can barely face going to school each day.  Take a moment of your time to help.
