I’m raising money for the Liverpool FC Foundation, the official charity of Liverpool Football Club. The Foundation works across Liverpool and beyond to tackle social inequalities by supporting health and wellbeing, education, employability and community programmes. Through the power of sport, they create opportunities for young people, families and vulnerable members of the community, helping to make a real and lasting difference in people’s lives.

On a personal note, this challenge is also about getting myself back into running. I used to run regularly but stopped after an injury, and between that and moving house last year, exercise completely fell by the wayside. I’ve recently joined the gym again and have been slowly building my running back up, so this charity run comes at the perfect time as I reach the end of my training programme. Any support, no matter how small, would be hugely appreciated.
