As our dedicated runners prepare to take on the miles through Manchester for the Great Manchester Run 2026, we are reminded of the millions of families in Pakistan, Syria, and Gaza who face a daily reality of hunger and uncertainty.

In Pakistan, rising food prices, pervasive poverty, and the lasting impact of devastating floods have left countless households struggling to afford even basic staples.

In Syria, years of conflict and displacement have pushed families into extreme food insecurity, where regular meals are no longer guaranteed. Parents are often forced to make impossible choices that no family should ever have to face.

Meanwhile, in Gaza, an alarming 96% of households report moderate to severe difficulties in securing clean water.

By supporting this campaign with a target of £1,000, you are helping transform the determination of our runners into tangible support—providing full food parcels and essential water trucking for vulnerable families in dire need. Together, we can make a difference that resonates far beyond the finish line.
