Story
I am running the Manchester half marathon on Sunday 16th October. I hope people will sponsor me as it's quite a long way to run and it could well be raining and cold!
I would like to raise money for a project at the Huddersfield Mission where I work. It's a great place to work and one of the most successful projects we ran was the first Mission Records project 'Omnia Communia'. https://missionrecords.bandcamp.com/album/omnia-communia
We are now applying for funding for another Mission Records 6 month project involving music, art, creative writing and performance. To improve our chances of success we need to fund raise at least ten percent of the overall budget.
The project is all about involvement and public engagement. All the Mission Records projects have been developed to engage our customers, many of whom are on the edge of society. They may be homeless, unemployed, experience mental health problems, have low levels of achievement and not have had the opportunities and fortune afforded to others.
This is a chance for us to look at issues that impact on our customers whilst creating art, music, writing, whilst giving the opportunity to express and perform. This combination of different art forms is to engage as many people as possible and include them in a finished, high quality product they can be proud of.
We will promote the project through local and regional media. We want to reach as many people as possible and raise the voice of our customers. We want to show what people can achieve when given the chance. We want to involve as many people as possible and get them interested in expression through art, music, writing and performance.

8 years agoFinished! It was really good fun and a great atmosphere from the runners and crowds. I managed to finish in 1:44:15 which I am very happy with. I even managed some high 5's and the eating jelly babies. Thanks again for all the support. The total raised so far is £376! It far exceeds what I thought we would raise. Brilliant :) I

8 years agoOnly two sleeps until the race. I've resigned myself to not winning this time round... Training has gone well. No injuries. Going to relax tomorrow so I'm like a coiled spring on Sunday. Thanks to everyone for your support. I will let you know how the race goes. I will also keep everyone updated as to how much we raise in total and how the money goes to create music and art. I'm so glad Manchester is flat... wonder what the weather forecast is...oh, thunderstorms and rain...!

8 years agoWell this is brilliant. So far with donations from just giving and a good old fashioned A4 sponsor sheet of paper we have about £300. Massive thanks again. I'm back on with the training with a steady ten mile hilly run on Sunday and a fast 6 mile run last night. No pain in shins so all looking good. I've never run half marathon and I've had lots of advice from other runners who are all very supportive and friendly about sharing tips and giving encouragement. Big thanks to all my running buddies :)
