After being persuaded by my wife, and 10 years since I last ran the Great Manchester Run I’m back for another go!

All proceeds will go to Home Start, a charity my wife has been helped by and also more recently has started helping herself.

It’s a great cause and any donation will really help.

A bit more about Home Start below!

Home-Start HOST is an organisation of trained volunteers and qualified staff, supporting families with young children through challenging times. They work across Tameside, Oldham, Stockport, Bolton and Glossop, supporting families with children under 5.There are many reasons families need support - from bereavement or financial challenges, to isolation or the additional pressure of health challenges.Home-Start offer practical and emotional support to parents in their own home, and provide activities and group settings to encourage new friendships and a safe space to grow. Home-Start is needed more than ever as the cost of living rises, making essentials into luxuries. Support helps ease this pressure and gives parents some much-needed headspace - time to feel like themselves and enjoy time with their children.The early years of a child's life have a huge impact. By supporting Home-Start HOST, you can make a real difference to the future of today's children.
