As many of you are aware I have had the privilege of being the Chair of the Harrogate Homeless Project for five years, and I will be stepping down at the end of July. This is the last time I will be fundraising and asking my very patient friends and family for sponsorship.

The organisation works with the most vulnerable in society to help them work through their situation and grow back to reclaim a life that we would all take for granted. It's not an easy journey and the charity does its best to support clients at every step.

Please support financially if you would like to, but if you cant the Leeds Running Festival held at Roundhay Park is a great day out for spectators and it would be great to see people out on the course.
