About Me (Katie)

Full Stop Foundation has helped me in some of my darkest times and I know they will help others too. I am fundraising because I have been sexually assaulted and I know first-hand how important these types of services are

Having used the Full Stop Foundation’s services, I know how incredibly important it is to have counselling with trauma-trained people.

The shame attached to sexual assaults needs to change. As a teacher I believe education and talking about this subject openly will help that.

Why am I fundraising?

I feel a really strong need to turn my experience of sexual assault into something positive and to give back to the foundation that has helped me so much.

Part of my healing is to raise awareness and hopefully encourage other survivors to get counselling. By raising money for this charity in our community I can inspire others to seek help.
