I’m running my first half-marathon (😬🤞) to support a local charity that helps protect the natural world and encourages people into their green spaces. You can see from the photo of me just doing a 10k that this is going to hurt!!🤣

The Parks Trust cares for over 6,000 acres of beautiful and inspirational green space in Milton Keynes including parks, ancient woodlands, lakes, river valleys and 80 miles of landscaped areas along the city’s grid roads.

With your help, The Parks Trust can do more. Donations enable the charity to extend their work beyond the day-to-day maintenance and management of Milton Keynes’ beautiful green spaces.

Your donation will help to fund projects such as creating new habitats for wildlife, planting more hedgerows, and developing wildflower meadows, restoring and protecting heritage sites, supporting school children to take part in outdoor learning and improving accessibility of Milton Keynes' outdoor spaces.
