This October 8th I am taking on the challenge of a night-time half-marathon walk throughout Manchester, joining thousands of others across the country. 

STAY:UP raises money to help change the story for thousands of homeless 16-25 year olds in the UK. 110,000 young people experience homelessness every year and the effects can be devastating.

Centrepoint supports young people to recover their health and find a job and home of their own. Their approach works and 88% of those they work with leave Centrepoint positively.

Please sponsor me as much as you can because although I'm spending just one night outside of my comfort zone, homeless young people will have faced much worse.
