I'm running the Manchester Marathon on 27th April 2025 to raise money for the Manchester NHS Foundation Trust Charity, which supports the nine hospitals in the Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT). My 'why' for doing this is to thank Wythenshawe Hospital for making me a Mummy and bringing both Harry and Millie safely into the world.

Prior to starting training back in November, I had only run a half marathon once in my life (about seven years ago too). Now I'm somehow running well over half marathon distance most weekends and as of writing this I've clocked up almost 500km in training which I literally can't believe.

I feel so totally overwhelmed by the donations, love and support received to date and I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart as it really does mean so much.

Thank you,

Catherine x
