Paris Marathon 2012 · 15 April 2012 ·

Barnabus has been supporting people experiencing homeless in Manchester for over 35 years. Everything we do comes down to one thing: to help people in their journey off the streets. No matter how long it takes, we’ll be here, every step of the way.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 15th April I ran my first marathon in the city I used to live and love – Paris.

2 weeks later on 29th April I ran my second marathon in my hometown - Manchester.

I ran for a local charity to help the homeless in my hometown of Manchester and would really appreciate it if you would sponsor me.  I covered all of my own costs so every penny, pound, dollar, euro and dinar donated will go directly to the charity that I have chosen.

If you could help me get to £4000 that would be hugely appreciated as I am so so close !

The charity that I have chosen is Barnabus a local Christian Homeless Charity based in Manchester who do fabulous work offering a lifeline to around 350 people a week, many of whom are homeless, hungry, have severe addictions or mental health issues.  They support their physical, emotional and spiritual needs and do their very best to help these people get back into mainstream society.  They receive no government funding and rely entirely on donations.

If you would like to wish me well as I complete 2 x 26.2 gruelling miles and would like to help me raise money for Barnabus, then I will be truly grateful.
