TLDR; I'm doing lots of runs, there are 3 charities to pick from

I'm turning 30 in January 2021 - January birthdays are a bit pants as there's usually rain, darkness, lack of money from Christmas and health kicks to contend with. This year has been turned up to the next level, as we very much expect to remain in lockdown in Wales for the foreseeable.
I want to combat this negativity with some positivity, so I have set myself the challenge to run 5k a day in January. I appear to be spending December shovelling Celebrations down my neck and drinking beer, and now the gym/pool are closed, so this is going to be quite a task...
I've chosen three charities to support, so if you wish to sponsor me please have a look and choose the one that resonates most with you (or ones!!):
- Huggard, Cardiff: supporting homelss people, in the city I live in
- Ronald McDonald House, Bristol: housing families of children in hospital long term, in the city I work in. RMHB doesn't receive funding from the main RMH charity (some weird franchise type arrangement...), so every penny really matters to them.
- Foodbank, South Leicester: providing food to those in need, in the city I am from. In particular this food bank covers the area of the school I used to work in.
Thank you to everyone who chooses to support me and these wonderful charities :)
