I am running the Manchester 10K on Sunday 28th May 2017. Following the recent events which have been happening to our local business owners on Burton Road, Didsbury, I have decided to raise money to assist in helping to replace smashed windows, stolen stock, maintenance of shop fronts etc.

As most of you already know, a gang of teenagers have been terrorising the local shopkeepers by stealing stock, smashing windows, setting bins on fire and generally causing terror and upset to the local shop keepers, more recently they have assaulted the owner of UrbanPaw Dog Groomers which resulted in his window being smashed and a night in hospital. This is totally unacceptable.
I for one, have been shocked at recent events and feel that the local community of Didsbury need to support our local businesses and do everything we can to help them in this time of need. As a member of the Didsbury Community, I feel that we should all support and help our local shopkeepers in getting them back on their feet so that we can all continue to enjoy the services which they provide.

If you would like to donate anything, then please sponsor me, all proceeds will go to the local businesses to help replace lost stock and damaged goods etc. Any amount will be greatly appreciated! Thanks for reading!
