Martha Urwin is raising money for Barnabus
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Martha's Backyard Ultra · 16 April 2020

Barnabus has been supporting people experiencing homeless in Manchester for over 30 years. Everything we do comes down to one thing: to help people in their journey off the streets. No matter how long it takes, we’ll be here, every step of the way.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 

Barnabus is currently providing a lifeline to around 1000 people - preparing and delivering 3 meals a day to rough sleepers who are self isolating in emergency accommodation and other vulnerable households without support. At a time when so many fundraising events have been cancelled, and we are being relied upon by so many people, I want to do my bit to help raise the financial support that my team needs to carry on supporting people through this crisis and beyond.

On Thursday 16th April I will be running about 1800 laps of my back yard to complete 29 miles - one for each year that Barnabus has been serving our city.

This will be a fun challenge carried out at a leisurely pace with my kids involved for parts of it too. I won't be doing anything to put myself or anyone else at risk, I just want to use my running to do something useful. If you are able to support me, that would be wonderful but I know that this is a difficult time for many people so if not then even a share on social media would be great if you're able to do that. Thanks!
