So... this all started with a list of 30 things to do before I reached 30 and a desire to raise as much money as possible for two really worthwhile charities based in Manchester, The Manchester United Foundation and The Christie Charity.

What is Challenge13?

I am going to complete 13 challenges over 13 months starting in June 2013, including a triathlon, 100km bike ride, a 1mile open water swim, the Three Peaks Challenge, giving blood (my biggest challenge!), a 10km run, a half marathon, a marathon, an abseil, a 24hr fast, Tough Mudder, learning Spanish and climbing Kilimanjaro.

The money I raise will be split between the Manchester United Foundation who offer personal development and life changing experiences, providing young people with opportunities to change their lives for the better, and The Christie Charity who use their money to fund projects to improve cancer treatment and make cancer a thing of the past.

I will be funding myself 100% through these challenges, meaning that every penny you donate can be used by the charities to continue their work.

The next 13 months are going to be hard work and I need as much support as possible so please dig deep and donate  anything you can spare!
