Story
Back in January my husband convinced me that I should challenge myself, and he talked me into entering the Manchester Half Marathon, that is on Sunday 28 May 2017 ( bear in mind I have not run for over 5 years and have never done anything of this distance before ) so then it crossed my mind that if I was going to achieve this I should do it in aid of a good cause.
I recently started on volunteer at my local food bank in Nantwich, spending time in our very busy stock room. I have been totally inspired by the work that this fabulous team do to help support some of the most vulnerable within our area and continue to be humbled by the generosity of the local people to give food. However, the charity does require monetary support as well in order to fund the work that it does, and any facility improvements. In the storeroom, we current,y require more racking and shelving, and any money received will be given to the charity for this purpose. Anything that you would be able to donate, no matter how small, would be very gratefully received. On the 28th I will be pounding the streets with the food bank logo proudly displayed on my running top, a great cause that offers more than just food for our clients. Thank you.

7 years agoI did it. 😊 The atmosphere in Manchester was amazing, and it really felt that we were bigger than just the run. So glad I took part, and I achieved my goal to run the whole way, so really proud of myself. Thank you for all your support and donations, it is really appreciated.
