In light of International Women’s Day, in March we held a Trail Blazers panel at Origin Coffee Roasters in Southwark, London. In order to champion women who are creating change and championing female strength, we invited three ladies to take part in the conversation; Run Equal campaigner Maud Hodson, Alex Paske of youth development foundation, Mintridge, and endurance cyclist and author, Emily Chappell.
Exploring everything from female empowerment, social change and the future and how we can all get involved, the evening, we hope, left those who attended with some seeds of inspiration, to feel able to make changes and inspire others to do so too.
All proceeds of tickets sold went to the Girls Gotta Run foundation, who do wonderful work to empower girls and young women in Ethiopia. You can find out more information about Girls Gotta Run here: http://www.girlsgottarun.org/
