I am not a natural long-distance runner and so of course my&nbsp;answer was no! However, that is all about to change as I&nbsp;have taken up the challenge of the Chester marathon (my home town). In the build up I have run the Bupa London 10 km and am running the Maidenhead half marathon in September. I have chosen&nbsp;Access Sport as my&nbsp;charity&nbsp;so that they can provide young people with the opportunity to play sport, meet new people and&nbsp;learn new skills to help keep them off the streets.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Access Sport&nbsp;helps transform the lives of young people in disadvantaged communities through the power of sport.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Volunteer-led sports clubs offer excellent youth development pathways, offering local kids the chance to meet new friends, learn new skills and stay out of gangs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Access Sport helps these local clubs to realise their full potential by offering advice, support and financial subsidy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>They help to empower the inspirational club leaders who make such an impact in their community, and give them the chance to help get more local kids into sport.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Access Sport would not be able to carry out this groundbreaking work without the fantastic support of people like you, so please dig deep and sponsor me.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
