I am preparing to run the Manchester to Liverpool 50-mile ultramarathon on Good Friday, April 3rd, 2026! 🏃‍♂️💨 Basically two marathons back-to-back in (hopefully) under 10 hours! 👊

My training starts NOW, and I’m raising money for The Gingerbread Centre, an important local charity providing safe accommodation and vital support for homeless families, pregnant women, and teenage parents in Stoke-on-Trent.

I am hoping to meet my target of £450 before race day and here's an idea of what any donations may go towards:

🧡 £35 – Provides a baby welcome pack with nappies, wipes, bottles, and formula, giving a newborn the essentials for a healthy start.

💛 £68 – Funds a welcome pack for a family, including essential food and toiletries.

Please donate what you can. A cup of coffee, or a pint is £5 these days, so substituting that for a donation can make a huge difference to support vulnerable families. It will also spur me on with my fundraising and training! 🌅 (I am running with three others and want to beat the amounts they raise, too! 🤣 SO PLEASE SHARE!)

Oh...and finally... Feel free to challenge me with running dares...(within reason!) 😬 to make this journey even more fun! 😛

Thank you so much for your support! ❤️ Gingerbread Family Support.
