Story

So the shuffling potato is off again and this time it’s the big one! 

Call it a bucket list thing or turning 40 crisis thing but it’s happening! 3 years ago I did the couch to 5k and couldn’t run a minute comfortably and now I’m going to run (well, shuffle) 26 miles! 

I’m running it for the charity that has had a huge impact on my life. At 8 years old I was lucky enough to find Chickenshed. As well as developing my skills and love for theatre, it taught me that difference is beautiful and togetherness is powerful.

Roll on 32 years and I’m now lucky enough to be working for Chickenshed. Each day I get to see how that celebration of difference and togetherness changes the young people we work with. 

Please give what you can so we can continue making a difference.
