Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving Page.

Along with 9 others we intend to waddle, walk or run Manchester 10k 31/5/26 to raise 10k for our rowing charity which does amazing work with year 8 pupils in the Northwest.

I know 10k isn’t akin to climbing Mount Everest BUT to some of us who have been somewhat sedate and for me, I last ran a 10k over 20 years ago… it’s a kick start to get me back to a good state of health and wellbeing to ‘practice what I preach’ and is much needed after 35+ years of serving the public sector and sitting at a screen for far too many hours which has taken its toll.

As a rowing coach for this charity I can see the impact it makes on young people’s lives and to those who need support more than others and all whilst having enormous fun!
