Story

Hey - thank you so much for visiting my page. 

Having signed upto the Tour of Tameside 2021 - which is a 4 day challenging running festival. I would like to raise funds for the Forever 19 charity set up in memory of Emma Cosgrove. The charity helps grant wishes for Teens who are suffering with cancer. 

To raise awareness and support (and if the event isn't challenging enough) I will be doing the event in fancy dress. And for those who know me will know I am looking forward to the Batman costume 🤫

Thursday 29th July - 10k Trail Run Daisy Nook

Friday 30th July - 6mile Fell Run Copley

Saturday 31st July - Half Marathon Glossop

Sunday 1st August - 7mile Hyde 

I worked alongside Mike, who is not only chairman to the charity but Emma's dad. I have seen some of the amazing wishes they have granted - from days out, designer trainers, west end shows to simple things like family meals out or takeaway pizza!

Speaking with the amazing Cheryl, who is not just a trustee of the charity but also Emma's mum. She told me that the average cost of granting a wish is around £100 per teen - meaning that if we can hit our target of £500 will see 5 teens get their wishes granted!

At £100 per wish every £1 will count!
