Hi - I'm raising money for Royal Manchester Children's Hospitals 'Be Seen in Green' Campaign. I will be running the Manchester 10k - the first time I have undertaken anything competitive in my life.

The hospital is particularly close to my heart as they have looked after my goddaughter over a number of years. I feel that I would like to give a little back to help with the incredible efforts that these guys give to support so many families, often in the most difficult of circumstances.

Their fundraising historically goes to many areas to support the hospital. This year however the focus is on providing entertainment for the children who are often at the hospital for long periods of time. Bringing a little smile to help these children through their toughest moments has to be worth it doesn't it? Every little helps and we will be incredibly grateful for any donations to this wonderful cause.

Thanks again, Gary
