Story

Last year I sadly lost a best friend in Cerys O'Boyle. In her memory, I have decided to run two half marathons (Sheffield and Leeds) in aid of the charity, Roundabout. Cerys was a selfless person and thrived off helping others and seeing other people improve, she was always one to give an underdog a chance and for this reason she was always passionate about Roundabout. 

Here is a bit more about the charity:

Roundabout is Sheffield's youth homeless charity. Every day, we provide shelter and support to over 150 young people in Sheffield who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. You donations will help provide a safe place for young people and help us to provide the support and life skills to help break the cycle of homelessness. Your support will go a long way to changing the lives of some of the most vulnerable young people in Sheffield. Our work is a lifeline for many and supports the young people we work with to prepare for a better future. From £5 which would buy bedding for a young person when they move into the hostel or their own flat to £5,000 which will house a young person for a full year – it all makes a difference to some of the most vulnerable young people in Sheffield.
