Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Over the weekend of 22nd August, I will be taking on the GM Ringway, a route that runs the whole way around Greater Manchester for 200 miles. Only 1 person has completed the route so far, so it's not to be taken lightly...

The route is split up into 20 stages, each easily accessible from the city centre using public transport, and each between 10-21km with varying levels of elevation.

I'm looking for people to run with me for different sections, not pacers as such, I'm not fit enough to need pacers! But people to come along, chat, keep my spirits up over the 3 days I am hoping for it to take. The big takeaway I got from running the Chester 100 this year, is that I'm better with people, and there are no better people than the ultra running community!

So whether we know each other or not, if you're local to Manchester or not, I'd love to have you along to share a few stages with me. I'd also be incredibly grateful of anyone who can offer logistical support for a few hours over the weekend. I've got a main support car that will meet me periodically, but very open to extra help.

I will be doing this to support a charity that mean a lot to me. Creating Adventures (from Warrington) provide free activities for adults with autism and learning disabilities, my wonderful little sister has Down Syndrome and sings in their choir. She loves it, but they are a small charity and I want do something to help.
