Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

On Saturday 16th April, we will be taking part in the Cowshed Backyard Ultra 2022, which involves running laps of 4.16 miles every hour for as many hours as possible. Each lap must be completed within the hour and we cannot begin the next lap until an hour has elapsed. Last year, the winner completed 29 laps, running over 120 miles!

We would like to use this event as an opportunity to raise some money for a really important cause. The charity we have chosen to raise money for is called Odd Arts. They are based in Manchester and use theatre to change and challenge the way people understand themselves and the world around them. All of their work aims to overcome inequalities and introduce opportunities for people facing the greatest level of discrimination and disadvantage. Here is a short showreel which captures what they do quite nicely https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71pJCr40nP0.

Any donations, large or small are very welcome and will go to a great cause. Thank you and wish us luck!
