Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our Just Giving Page raising money for Manchester Samaritans branch where Adam is a volunteer

Dan & I are running the Manchester Half Marathon on Sunday 4th October. This will be the furthest we have ever run and a real challenge for us both. I only started running in my fifties and after 126 parkruns & joining Athena running club I so enjoy running.

To help us get to the finish line we are raising money for Manchester & Salford Samaritans where my oldest son Adam volunteers each week.

This is a brilliant charity who are there at the end of the phone 24/7. Whatever you are going through, a Samaritan will face it with you. Adam and his fellow volunteers answer 42,000 calls each year.

Mental health issues affect so many families so if we can raise this money it will really help them.

Thank you for reading and thank you for your donation. Louise & Dan xx
