Hi folks, yep I'm doing the Manchester 10k and have challenged myself to complete it in less than an hour!!! Gotta love running!!! I'm raising money for the Wellspring in Stockport where I'm a volunteer. The charity provides hot meals, showers and a change of clothes for the homeless and socially disadvantaged. A nurse is also available for medical help, and as many of the clients have serious drug and alcohol addictions, rehab programmes can be accessed through the charity. The Wellspring works hard to get homeless people off the streets and into a home and into work and has helped hundreds of people achieve this. There is also free classes in reading, writing, maths, computers and an art group all held at the centre. I'm still amazed at the huge number of men and women that live on the streets of my area and some of the Wellspring's clients are not that much older than my eldest son!!! People can end up homeless for so many reasons. I've met lots of amazing people whilst volunteering there and seen how important and life changing the work is that the Wellspring does. Please, please sponsor me on my lung busting run so that the Wellspring can keep helping the homeless. Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
