As you may know, I do an annual fundraiser for Wigan Youth Zone (the charity I work for) in order to support the life-changing work we do for young people in Wigan and Leigh - in the past year alone, we have supported over 6,000 young people. 

This year's challenge may not sound as grand as walking 500 miles in two months or running 100km in a month (my previous two challenges), but it will be the hardest and longest run I've ever done - a half-marathon. Having previously never run more than 10km, the prospect of more than doubling it will push me well out my comfort zone!

All monies raised will go directly to supporting the work we do for young people, so anything you can give would be very much appreciated. 

Many thanks and wish me luck!!
