Story

Tay is nearly a year to the date from.when he completed his charity event "10 miles in 10 days" because he was 10 - this was to raise money for manchester Eye hospital and the children's hospital. 

For those that didnt know taylor was born with an extremley rare condition, resulting in him being  blind in his right eye, issues with his teeth and also affect his pituraty gland making him require daily growth hormone injections.

Tays had countless operations as a baby, and been seen by so many of the services at RMCH and the EYe hospital. Taylor is a regular patient at the hospital and will remain a pateint for the rest of his life. 

Tay suffered bullying at school resulting in severe low self confidence which was also supported by the RMCH where he received counseling. With all this in mind Taylor  has now completely u -turned and turned his condition into something postive and is channelling his energy to raise more funds! 

Taylor is only 11 and is sooooo determined! 

He raised a staggering amount of money compared to his £150 target in his first charity run and really wants to smash that target again! 

This year he's going big!!- 20 miles 20 days 20 followers ove rather days! This might be 20 in one night or just 20 different people either way we need everyone's support!!

He would love to raise 5k and this is our ultimate goal so please share and help him hit his target!!
