I am running the Leicester marathon to raise money for Carl Gunns boxing gym in Birstall Leicester so that the gym can invest in some new equipment. The gym relies heavily on charity donations and sponsorship in order to keep running and offers adults and children from the local community and surrounding villages an opportunity to box, exercise, meet new friends and build self confidence. Classes for children are only £1 per hour per child and this is the main reason why I am trying to raise money for the gym because it gives children somewhere to workout at very little cost, it helps to build their self esteem and keeps them off the streets. Any donations would be much appreciated as the gym is a fantastic place for adults and children to go and needs your help and support to keep running.
