I've gone from "I hate running!" to signing up to the Manchester Marathon, because... why not?! I've decided to fundraise for the amazing We Love MCR Charity. A huge part of their work is supporting children and young people in the city, something which I am super passionate about and which I have spent the last 10 years of my career trying to do too.

I haven't set a financial target, anything I can raise would be great. Please consider donating and helping We Love MCR do more of their amazing work.

"We Love MCR Charity aims to give heart, hope and opportunity to the people of Manchester, when they need it most.

Within our bright, international city, 1 in 3 of our children live in poverty. We aim to address this through direct support - giving opportunity to young Mancunians and empowering our communities to build themselves up through grant funding.

Together we can do this: by Manchester, in Manchester, for Manchester!"
