Story

On Sunday, 19th April 2026, I will be lining up at Old Trafford to take on the adidas Manchester Marathon. I’ll be running 26.2 miles through the vibrant streets of Manchester to support an extremely worthwhile cause: Meals & More.

Why Meals & More?

Did you know that over 4 million children in the UK live in households experiencing food insecurity?. For many of these children, the school holidays aren't a time of joy—they are a time of hunger. When schools close, the safety net of free school meals disappears, leaving families struggling to put food on the table.

Meals & More works tirelessly to change this. They partner with local clubs to provide:

-> Nutritious meals to vulnerable children during the holidays.

-> Enriching activities that boost health, confidence, and aspirations.

-> A safe environment for children who might otherwise face social isolation.

Every donation, no matter the size, makes a tangible difference.

-> £10 could help provide healthy snacks for a holiday club session.

-> £25 could contribute towards a full day of nutritious meals and activities for a child.

-> £50 could help a local club expand its reach to even more families in need.

I’m training hard to make every mile count, but I can’t do it without your support. Please donate whatever you can to help me reach my target and ensure no child has to go hungry during the holidays.

Thank you for your support!
