I’m running my first ever marathon to raise money to support MASH's vital work!

MASH is the only charity in Manchester specifically supporting women who sex work. For over 30 years, MASH have supported some of the city’s most marginalised women.

Support can mean anything from offering a hot drink on a cold night from our Outreach Van on one of Manchester’s sex work ‘beats’, to providing one-to-one help for a woman who has been rough sleeping to find, secure, and maintain accommodation—or offering in-house counselling to help a woman overcome past trauma.

Right now, many women are under increasing financial pressure, while essential services—such as mental and physical healthcare and housing—are becoming harder and harder to access.

I've been training since the beginning of January and between then and the 9th of April, I’ve run 769km (and fallen over three times!).

Any donations would be hugely appreciated to help MASH continue standing alongside women who are sex working in Manchester.
