This September I'm running the Sheffield 10K to raise money for S6 Foodbank.

If you know me, you'll know that this is a bit of a challenge! Until recently, I hadn't run 5K in years, so signing up for a 10K has definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone. I'm slowly working my way through a training plan, one run at a time, with the aim of crossing the finish line in September.

I'm doing it because S6 Foodbank supports people right here in Sheffield who are facing impossible choices every day. Across the city, families are having to decide between paying the gas bill, repairing a broken appliance, buying shoes for their children, or putting food on the table.

The foodbank does so much more than provide emergency food. It offers practical support, advice and hope to people experiencing some of life's toughest moments.

If you're able to support me with a donation (big or small) I would be incredibly grateful. Every pound will help S6 Foodbank continue to provide practical help and a pathway out of crisis for local people.

Thank you so much for cheering me on, supporting the cause, and (hopefully!) helping me make it to the finish line.

Running the Sheffield 10K together.
