I've been coerced into running the Manchester 10K on 20 May to raise money for MAG.

I've worked at MAG for six years and have been lucky enough to work with many of the programmes overseas, and have seen for myself the truely life-changing work which is going on every day. On that note, I'd very much appreciate a small amount of your hard earned cash to get me through my challenge and help MAG continue to get this crucial job done.

If it's easier, you can donate via your phone too, just text MANC 79 followed by the amount you'd like to give, example 'MANC 79 £5'.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate what you can, now!

Thanks, and best wishes to you and yours,

Chris
