As you may know I am running the Manchester Marathon this year. There are three causes I want to support by doing this which are all very close to my heart.

The MND Association do fantastic work supporting families affected by MND who are local to Manchester. They deserve our support in any way possible.

Flixton Cricket Club is where I work, but the reason I have chosen to support the club (to build accessible facilities) is because of how special it is. A true community hub for people of all ages which enriches people's lives on the daily.

Flixton Swim Team are a fantastic local team which my daughter swims for. The impact the team has had on her life is phenomenal and everyone involved in the team works tirelessly to raise funds to keep the team going. It is run by volunteers with very few people in paid roles and I would like to support them as much as possible.

If you can spare anything at all please give to the fund of your choice 💚
