Hiya chicks!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Each year thousands of children and adults with social, emotional and physical needs are taken to Lourdes by HCPT.

I first heard about HCPT at our local Parish church, St Charles in Swinton, when a young man named Corey spoke about the positive and profound effect that his trip had on him. I will never forget his words of hope and courage.

I feel that these trips enable children and adults, with additional needs, to have the holiday of a lifetime. At the Thanksgiving celebration held after the trip, I see these adults,children and their families smiles and it touches me deeply and brings tears of joy. I appreciate what a fantastic experience it is.

The children, in particular, inspire me to keep running and raising money for these trips. Therefore, I am DELIGHTED to be competing in the London Marathon for HCPT Manchester!

I would be so grateful if you could please help me to raise money for local children in need.

Many, many thanks.
