Story

Scarily, I’ve been with One Stop for 28 years, which is half of my life! Thanks to One Stop i have an opportunity to do something special for my health, and to help raise funds for an amazing charity.

I spent 26 of those years enjoying beer and far too many sausage rolls. It turns out that’s not so good for you, so I changed and started running.

Hated it for about 9 months, but eventually started enjoying it, and have now agreed to run for 6 hours in one go!

I’m raising funds for Children in Need, which does some amazing work across the country, and any support would be massively appreciated.

I would really appreciate any support or donation, and as well as being used to support Children's groups, it will also means that i have no option but to keep going.
