Empire Fighting Chance work with some of the young people my department at St Mary Redcliffe help to support. They're a really amazing charity doing brilliant work with these young people and I think it's a fantastic cause. I decided to run the 10K in support of them as I hate running so it's great motivation, thinking every painful step is making a real difference.
