Hello everyone!  In less than a months time I will be running the Manchester 10k run!

I am risking life and limb to run through the unruly streets of Manchester for a very worthy cause, that being the Manchester Peace Park in Kosovo. This park is situated in a region which was looted, burnt, shelled and contaminated by landmines, immedialtely following the bombing of Belgrade by NATO in 1999. 

The Peace Park will be a place of fun, tranquility, natural beauty and most importantly peace, for the young and old people of Kosovo who have gone through so much in the past ten years.

Manchester Aid to Kosovo (MAK) is a Manchester based charity dedicated to providing aid and support to the people of Kosovo.

 MAK was started by five Manchester men in a pub. Their response to the unfolding news about ethnic cleansing in Kosovo, caught the imagination of the Greater Manchester people. Within two weeks a convoy of 300 tonnes of aid was on its way, from Manchester, to evicted Kosovars in Albanian Refugee Camps. 850,000 Kosovars were forcibly evicted from their country. Within a year MAK transported a 1,000 tons of crisis aid to the region. The legacy of war and attempted genocide is long term. As such MAK is committed to supporting the recovery of Kosovars in both Kosovo and the U.K.
