Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. A team from the School of Pharmacy at the University of Manchester is running the Manchester 10K in May and we're hoping you'll sponsor us to raise funds for a local charity: St. Anne's Hospice in Heald Green, which provides care for people with terminal illness.

There are a few reasons why (some of us) shouldn't be doing this: too old, too tired, never ever run 10k before, never run at all before, not fit enough, dodgy knees, high blood pressure....but reasons why we should: it'll be a laugh, you get fit, you raise money for a great cause.

Hopefully we'll all manage to complete the course in one piece, so please support us, dig deep and sponsor us online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: St Ann's Hospice will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
