Nearly a year ago, I signed up to run the Manchester Marathon in 2020, to raise money for Boaz. I had to stop training and defer my place after injuring my knee in January :( I've decided to run a marathon and a bit (50km) this week by running 10km every day for 5 days, starting Sunday 26th April.

I know what a difference this money will make to Boaz, as we work hard to continue to offer safe accommodation and specialist one to one support to over 80 people who've become homeless through the asylum process. It's not easy doing this through the lockdown, but our team are amazing and creative and doing an incredible job.

I've never run this far in one week, and I've never managed a five day runstreak, so I'm definitely feeling a bit nervous. But thank you for reading this far and thanks for your support. Every little helps- £2.60, £5.00... however much you can spare!
