Over the last six months, we have given up our social lives, undergone weeks of punishing physical training and endured a strict dietary regime to take part in a physical challenge that will push us to the limit.
Starting with the Great Manchester Run, we will be running 10 10k races in 10 countries over just five days, in Amsterdam, Brussels, Cologne, Luxembourg, Geneva, San Remo, Monaco and Nice, before finishing in Barcelona.
This is not a jog in the park. It's going to be incredibly tough for each and every one of us. But we're doing it for a cause that deserves such an extraordinary effort - and that deserves the extraordinary amounts of money we plan to raise.
Each of us has pledged to raise at least £10,000 in aid of the NSPCC's Child's Voice Appeal, contributing a total of more than £100,000 towards Manchester's £2 million target.
This is an incredibly important cause for Manchester’s children. At the moment, and with current funding, only two thirds of the 2.3 million calls of the calls from children and three quarters of the calls from adults are answered. In Manchester alone, enough callers go unanswered every year to fill Old Trafford.
Manchester’s Hear Our Cry appeal is the regional scheme of the Child’s Voice Appeal, which aims to raise £2 million to expand the ChildLine services in our city. We're undertaking this challenge because we believe our children deserve to be heard.
