The Rooted Project works with young people who have additional physical, mental or emotional needs. The small team provide a safe space to grow, learn and play. They teach life skills such as cooking and gardening as well as trips out to Dartmoor.

They're hoping to build a new indoor sensory room this year, install a dedicated kitchen area and raise funds to take the children out on more activities.

They are a charity and rely on volunteers, goodwill and limited funding to do the work they do. Project Leader Rose is a trooper and works her socks but she can't do it alone so we're helping out! There's a team running a marathon later this year, carboots sales, the kids do regular cake sales in the local park, raffle donations and events...and me! I'm going to attempt to run 1000 miles in 2018, I've never run more than 12 miles a week and this is going to need at least 20 and a lot of positive thinking!

If I can get £1 a mile that would enable the team to do LOADS. So please do scritch around for a spare golden nugget and give me a reason to keep running!
