Running on and off since the age of 16, this will be Lesley's first ultramarathon! Lesley loves to push herself, body and mind to achieve great things, whilst raising essential funds for causes she is passionate about.

Lesley has seen first hand the impact the cost of living crisis has had on Knowsley's young people and their families, which is why she's determined to make a difference in both her personal and professional life.

MYA's Our Place Foodbank was started in 2022, to support young people across the Borough amidst the backdrop of a crippling cost of living crisis. At the time where many families are struggling to make ends meet, MYA are here to support those who need it the most.

Every mile and every penny really will count, and support MYA in our mission of creating positive and lasting change in the lives of Merseyside's young people.

Please support Lesley and our young people if you are able.
