As most of you know I already run quite a bit, just for my own enjoyment and fitness but for this years Bupa Great Manchester 10K I'll be running for the charity Pumping Marvellous.

On my educational journey so far I have attended many events and meetings and volunteered for various charities along the way but I have never really attempted to raise money for one.  This time I've decided to change that and fund raise for Pumping Marvellous.

I met a man named Nick Hartshorne-Evans at a East Lancashire Hospital's Trust meeting and he had started up this charity after his own experience with heart failure.  I was inspired by his determination to spread awareness for sufferers and the then lack of support heart failure victims received.

At the time, I wanted to help out but with all my college work along with my commitment to football, running etc. it didn't really allow me to do any decent fundraising.  So, when the opportunity to use one of my hobbies to help Nick and the thousands of others came along, I thought why not!

Any donation is warmly welcomed, as every penny counts!!!!

Thank you for taking the time to read and thank you in advance for any donations :)
