Hello there. Thanks for taking the time to consider sponsoring me.

I hate running but LOVE RECLAIM... which begs the question, "Why am I doing this Manchester 10k?"

RECLAIM is a small charity in Manchester that provides mentoring and leadership opportunities to young people from disadvantaged areas of the city to rasie their aspirations and improve their life chances. It's genuine and it works but needs more money to continue, which is more important than ever in the current financial climate.

As an added incentive to dig deep, my lovely team at RECLAIM have decided that when I hit certain targets, they will choose an increasingly ridiculous outfit for me to wear. Oh joy. These will be revealed on this site as targets are met...

I REACHED my first target of £200 - which will buy 50 books for our library... There is talk of cave girls and clowns...

MY NEXT target is £500 which is gonna be hard to reach by the 20th May - this will mean we can set up regular book clubs, film nights and homework help in our Library space for all our young people to access.

You can also send a text donation by texting this number - 70070 - with this code - WCVX54 - and the amount you want to donate - £50 for example! It's no charge and easy, what's stopping you??!

Thanks everyone!

p.s. Feel free to email my team with any outfit suggestions, bearing in mind I'm running for a youth charity!
