I completed the marathon this weekend, achieving a PB in a time of 3hr 13min. The photo above is me at Mile 25, still just about smiling!

I'm raising money for the local charity Mustard Tree, which combats poverty and prevents homelessness.

The charity is based in Greater Manchester and creates opportunities for people and communities to help themselves through practical support, life skills and connections into work.

It provide food, clothing, furniture and other essentials alongside crisis support, courses, classes and training, all in the same building, giving people the dignity, confidence and tools they need to build themselves back up.
