I'm running the Manchester Half Marathon on October 13th 2024, and raising money for SoundCafe Leicester.

Soundcafe is a charity that supports people who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, socially isolated, or living in vulnerable housing in Leicester and the Leicestershire area. They support people through weekly sessions like choir practice, a creative cafe, and football health and wellbeing sessions.

I know the great work that Soundcafe do, as I was fortunate enough to volunteer to support their weekly football health and wellbeing sessions whilst at Loughborough in 2021-22. I was able to see the amazing work that they do and the way it was able to positively impact everyone who attended, to see them getting better at football, but also how being a part of the charity and being involved in sport had a huge impact on their personal lives and confidence.

Therefore, I'd like to raise money to continue to support the charity and continue the work to help those in need.
