On Sunday 22nd May 2016 I'll be running the Manchester 10k for Cancer Research UK.

I'll be part of the University of Manchester's 'purple wave' of 1000 runners all raising money for charity.  It's going to be a really exciting event and I can't wait!

I'm doing this to raise money as part of the fight against cancer and to help save lives.   After we lost dad, training for this run has helped me get back on my feet and made me determined to help the charities doing such amazing work .  He was my biggest running fan and a big sports fan and I'm sure he would have enjoyed the event as much as we will and be pleased to know we are helping others too! :)
