Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!
Despite being sporty and playing football regularly throughout my life so far, I am definitely not a long distance runner. I don't think I have ever run as far as 10 K before and 5 K has often been far enough. My entry into the Manchester 10 K came about as a result of a crazy moment during a period of procrastination from having to work all day one Saturday. I am starting to come to terms with the fact that I have actually paid to quasi-torture myself and thought I should use this opportunity to raise some money for charity.
I have had a very blessed life so far - a few examples being my loving family are all healthy, we are all in good stable jobs (besides my dad who is enjoying retirement), and in the past year I have become a home-owner and can drive around in more than just an old tin can (for those who know what first car I had). However, not everyone is as fortunate as myself and my family and there is a lot of poverty in the world and many in great need/help.
Please note, with any sponsorships/donations given through this site,
JustGiving takes 5% of it as a fee (if Gift Aid is eligible, this would
be taken from the Gift Aid they can reclaim from the Government on
behalf of the charity otherwise 5% of your donation amount will be
taken). If you would like to sponsor/donate but prefer not to do it via
this site, please get in touch with me so that we can arrange something
privately and I can pass on 100% of sponsorship money to Tearfund myself.
Thanks!
Adora :)
