BUPA Great Manchester Run 2012 · 20 May 2012 ·

Following the horrific murder of Sophie Lancaster, her family wanted to ensure a lasting legacy to their beautiful, bright creative daughter and so The Sophie Lancaster Foundation was established and it became a registered charity in 2009. We do this through various means including education.

Story

<p>Sophie was murdered in 2007, kicked to death for looking different. In her memory, the Sophie Lancaster Foundation was created. The Foundation aims to educate people, create respect and understanding and be a lasting legacy to the beautiful and unique Sophie.</p> <p>Sylvia, Sophie's mum, works endlessly to promote these aims. Her bravery in the face of such horrific loss is an inspiration.</p> <p>This is a cause close to my heart and those of many of my friends. I'm proud to have such a diverse, wonderful, group of people in my life. I aim to raise as much money as possible for this charity to ensure more people feel confident to express themselves, be that through dress, music, art or whatever else it is that makes you, you! Everyone has the right to be themselves.</p> <p>As someone who can't even run for a bus, the idea of me running 10k is, as always, hilarious. Sophie and Sylvia are my inspiration to meet this challenge.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
