We are incredibly grateful to share the story of Amna, who is fundraising for SAIL by taking on the Robin Hood Half Marathon.

Amna first came to SAIL in 2023 following a traumatic experience, and with the support of our counselling service, she was able to begin her journey of healing and recovery.

Amna recently shared:

“Your charity truly changed my life and helped me through the most difficult period I have ever experienced. I wanted to write to you today simply to say thank you.”

Now, just two years later, Amna is giving back by challenging herself to run the Robin Hood Half Marathon and raise vital funds to help SAIL continue supporting survivors of sexual abuse and violence.

Her original fundraising target of £500 was reached within just eight hours — an incredible achievement! Amna has now increased her goal to £2,080, which could help fund a full course of specialist counselling support for another survivor.

We would like to say a huge thank you to Amna for choosing to support SAIL and for helping raise awareness of the importance of specialist survivor support.
