Last year, I completed the Purple Wave 10km for Cancer Research at The University of Manchester. There was a heat wave, no shade and it was overall one of the hardest races I've ever done.

So naturally, this year I'm doing it all over again - but tackling the half marathon instead.

I'll be raising money for life-changing research at UoM. From cancer to stroke, climate change to global inequality - experts are searching for answers. But they need our help to make it happen faster.

By making a donation, you'll help brilliant people to explore big ideas and uncover new, life-changing discoveries for the benefit of us all.

So please join me in supporting Manchester's life-changing research by sponsoring me today.

Thank you!
