<p>For those of you who know me well, taking on any sort of sporting challenge will be just that, a challenge. My athletic prowess is virtually non-existent and so the thought of me running the streets of Manchester for the benefit of charity is surely worth a couple of pounds of your money to make a real, tangible difference to the lives of many.<br><br>This year, by running the Manchester 10k, Love Running Manchester is raising money for three completely different charities: The Christie Hospital, Tearfund's Water Appeal and CAP's UK Debt Counselling. All three of these charities, now more than ever, are in desperate need of additional funds to help change people's lives. No matter how small your donation, it will be greatly appreciated!<br><br>On a personal note, my family and I will be eternally grateful for the fantastic work that is carried out by The Christie Hospital. Running, for me, is therefore a great way to not only raise money for this specialist cancer hospital, but also to raise much-needed awareness. Below is a link to their website where you will be able to find further information about the good that they do.<br><a href="http://www.christie.nhs.uk/">http://www.christie.nhs.uk/</a></p> <p>Please, give generously. Many thanks.&nbsp;</p>
