The marathon training is underway and I am so excited to be raising money for the fantastic Morecambe Bay Food Bank charity by running the London Marathon 22nd April 2018.

No one in our community should have to face going hungry.
Almost one in three children in the north west are estimated to be living in poverty.

After watching ITV news before Christmas which exposed the increasing poverty in the Morecambe Bay area I was eager to help by raising money as much as i can to help people in need within Morecambe Bay the area i grew up in and love.

Morecambe Bay Food Bank is a project founded by local churces and community groups, working together towards stopping hunger in our local area.

The problem of hunger in our community is real and getting worse.

The Morecambe Bay Food Bank provides three days’ of nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to them in crisis. Morecambe Bay Foodbank is part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.

As well as providing emergency food packages the charity also signposts to other organisations to help families manage finances and this year they have started the Uniform Project to help make sure all children have a full school uniform or afterschool sports kit making sure they feel smart, feel proud and feel equal within our community.

Anyone of us could get in this situation, please donate any money you can spare, it will go to a fabulous charity- for more information visit;
