Story
We (Janelle, Leanne, Conor and Tom) are taking on a 30 mile walk from Warrington to Manchester along the Bridgewater Canal to mark the 30th birthday of an amazing Manchester charity - MASH.
For 30 years the team has been supporting women who are sex working with everything from sexual health, to surviving male violence to finding a home, mental health and developing skills in photography, art and creative writing.
Please support our mammoth challenge for this amazing cause. Send us some blister plasters!
A bit more about MASH and this challenge
2021 marks 30 years since a group of volunteers first got together to support sex workers in Manchester by handing out hot drinks and condoms during the height of the HIV and Aids pandemic. MASH was born. MASH may look very different now, but our heart and purpose has never changed. We are here to stand with and support women who are sex working so that they can experience better health, safety and wellbeing. By taking part in our 30 for 30 challenge you can help keep us running for as long as women need our support. You can do something amazing and help to keep women safe. You can put whatever spin you like on your 30 for 30 challenge. Will you run for 30 minutes? Draw up a list of 30 mini challenges? Join together as a team of 30 for a group challenge? A 30-day chocolate detox? Whatever your age or ability, you can do something amazing to help us mark MASHs 30th anniversary.
