I'm running the London Marathon in April to raise money for Lifecentre Salford, because I believe they really make a difference in their community.

I've been working with the Lifecentre for the past two years on more positive transitions to High School for children, and I've seen the passion, kindness and impact they are making on so many children and young people. Their work is funded by donations and supports children and young people in some really difficult circumstances, their area is more deprived than 90% of local authority districts in England, when it comes to income deprivation affecting children.

Every penny I raise will go to providing food, activities, mental health support, free sports clubs and more trained adults to support children in Salford. I would really appreciate your support to keep me going on this very long run!
