I've challenged myself with running 10 kilometres in under 40 minutes, and to make all my training truly count, I'm fundraising for Francis House Children's Hospice.

Francis House is a wonderful charity, local to where I live in Manchester. They do such important work, providing essential care and support for children, teenagers, and young adults with life-limiting conditions, as well as their families. Their entire team is amazing.

Knowing I am running for them is my biggest motivation. When running for hours in the pouring rain, I won't complain, because every km will be dedicated to helping Francis House. I am documenting every painful step and breakthrough moment of this journey on my YouTube channel, and I want to use that platform to raise as much money as possible for this vital local cause.
