Wiggle Manchester Half Marathon · 13 October 2019 ·

Hi, we're Gaddum: a mental health and carers charity. We've been around since 1833 supporting people and communities throughout Greater Manchester.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Im running this half marathon for Gaddum because growing up a young carer gaddum supported me through everything - emotional support, support in school, and helped me to meet other young carers and gave me the chance to meet people who understood my situation. Through the young carers service I met one of my best friends at the age of 11 who's still one of my best friends today. 

They encouraged me to do everything I could, encouraged me to be confident when I felt so out of place and shy at all times. 

Without gaddum I wouldnt be where I am today - and even now as a university student I know if I need help I can get it. I'm running this half marathon to give back to a charity that helped me keep my childhood when I had to be an adult at a young age and helped me become the confident person I am today.
