Most giraffes are known for sticking their necks out.

Lanky the Giraffe is no different.

After years of strutting around Emirates Old Trafford, posing for selfies, photobombing cricket matches, and generally enjoying the celebrity lifestyle, Lanky decided it was time to give something back.

And so Lanky is popping on his custom-made running shoes and is taking on the Manchester Half Marathon for Lancashire Cricket Foundation!

The Lancashire Cricket Foundation help people across Lancashire and the North West access cricket, improve their wellbeing, build confidence and create opportunities they might not otherwise have.

Every donation will help the Foundation continue delivering life-changing programmes in schools, communities and cricket clubs throughout the county.

So please support Lanky every (really big) step of the way and donate if you can to help Lancashire Cricket Foundation continue making a difference to young people across our communities.
