Story

EDIT: I’m SO grateful for everyone’s kind donations!!! I have now smashed my £1000 target so have now upped my target to £1500!!! Let’s do this!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I’m going to be running the Manchester Half Marathon on Sunday the 12th of October raising vital funds for The Christie - a charity very close to my heart.

In January, 2024 my beautiful mum was diagnosed with stage four brain cancer. This completely broke our hearts, and after 15 years in London I decided to move back up to Bolton to be with her.

The care she has recieved, and continues to recieve by The Christie & Maggie’s has been nothing short of incredible. So this feels like a perfect challenge for me to get stuck into (it’ll also hopefully kick my arse into moob and muffin top reduction!!!) & to say thank you to The Christie, and to show my mum that she really is my hero!

No donation too low (or high!) Please dig deep and let’s raise some money! I truly am grateful.

Thank you so much for reading, James xxx
