Our original Wednesday Dame India is running a half marathon to raise money for the Domestic Violence Intervention Project. This is a fantasic charity who not only provide support for women and children affected by domestic violence but also educate perpetrators on the effects of violence and abuse.

Domestic violence is incredibly prevalent and on average 2 women a week are killed by a male partner or former partner. Also, 54% of UK rapes are committed by a woman’s current or former partner.

DVIP helps to reduce the incidence of repeat victimisation and provide an opportunity for men to end a cycle of family abuse and develop healthy, non-abusive relationships with future partners.

India already volunteers with the charity (one of the reasons she had to quit making videos) and now she’s running 14 miles to show even more dedication - please dig deep and support her if you can!
