A non-runner pre lockdown, I am now attempting to run a half marathon next week! I was 14 the last time I attempted cross-country running - when my mum happened to drive past, I persuaded her to pick me up and drop me at the finish line...I promise not to do that this time around!  

Sponsorship can be boring can't it? So I'll make this simple. Resurgo runs the Spear Programme, working with some of the most brilliant but disengaged young people in our cities. We coach them to find their place and a purpose that is worth getting out of bed for every day. On completing Spear, over 75% of our trainees find work or education and are still there a year later - we know because we support them for a whole year. £1500 is how much it costs for one young person to receive a full year of coaching support - will you join me in helping to change one young life? By 2021, more than a million young people will be unemployed so every penny we raise is more important than ever.
