Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
As a fairly last minute thing, I signed up for the Manchester 10K through my employer Bupa, and even more last minute have decided to try and raise some money for STOP THE TRAFFIK.
"STOP THE TRAFFIK is a global movement working to combat the fastest growing global crime, people trafficking. Around the world men, women and children are being treated as commodities—something to be bought, sold, and enslaved". (http://www.stopthetraffik.org/).
**THE RUN IS ON 17 MAY -- PLEASE IGNORE EVENT DETAILS ABOVE AS I ASSIGNED THE WRONG EVENT TO MY PAGE!!** I only have a week to raise as much money as possible for this really important cause. Please help me by donating whatever you can.
