Story

Thanks for taking the time to donate and keep up to date with my training.

I have begun with a few street runs and a number of gym session but nothing too serious yet. However, with Christmas on its way and our baby due in Feburary, I had better get my running shoes on and start treading the streets of Nottingham. This is the first time I have done anything like this and even though it fills me with fear I can't wait to get there and do it!!!

I am running to raise money for the church of which I am the Church Leader. Our church is based in Nottingham, in an area called Aspley. It has many social needs and is highly deprived but full of great people who we seek to serve. We run a Drop In, Breakfast and After School club, Parents and Toddler and provide emergancy food parcels. The money I rasie will go towards supporting this work and will have an impact those people's lives we connect with.

Thanks

Matt
