Over May and June I will be completing a couple of challenges for We Love MCR - The Manchester Half Marathon (21st May) and the "3 Peaks of The Peaks" (16th June). For the Half Marathon the event has always been a celebration of all that is great about Manchester and this year's landmark 20th event promises to be the most special yet.

For the 3 Peaks of the Peaks I'll be with a 100-strong team taking on a 25-mile route, recreating the steps of the brave Kinder Scout Trespassers who put their liberty on the line 90 years ago. 

This is to raise funds for We Love MCR's work giving heart, hope and opportunity to Manchester's communities & young people.They do this by:- empowering Manchester's unbeatable communities to improve the lives of people in their neighbourhoods with the Stronger Communities Fund - by changing the lives of ambitious young Mancunians who can't rely on "the Bank of Mum and Dad" through the unique Manchester's Rising Stars Fund.- being ready when Manchester needs it most, like with the Covid-19 Community Response Fund when they distributed £1million to 300+ groups on the frontline of the crisis, including foodbanks + domestic violence sheltersFind out more about this fantastic charity on their website: www.welovemcrcharity.org
