Fundraising advice
We can't fight homelessness without your help
The housing crisis is now a national emergency. We believe that a safe home is a fundamental need and basic moral right. By fundraising for Shelter in the Berlin Marathon you can join the fight to defend that right.
Every mile run, every drop of sweat, and every pound raised will make a difference.
I had such a brilliant day yesterday the crowd were amazing I’ve never had so much fun running & I’ve reached my fundraising target!
