I will be running the Manchester Half Marathon in support of Wythenshawe Hospital and the Manchester Foundation Trust Charity helping to ensure continued excellence in treatment, research and care in the family of hospitals across Manchester and Trafford.

As a charity MFT's mission is simple: to support the excellence in treatment, research and care they provide to patients at the family of 10 NHS hospitals in Manchester and Trafford, each and every day. They want to make a real difference to the people they treat, young and old, by making sure that they continue to receive the very best treatment in the very best facilities. MFT do this by focusing fundraising efforts on three key areas treatment, research and care. This can include the purchase of cutting-edge equipment, funding pioneering medical research and creating a patient-friendly environment allowing patients, and their families, to feel welcome and at ease during their time in hospital.
