Story
Welcome to my JustGiving page! I'm thrilled to share that I'm taking on the incredible challenge of running the Manchester Marathon on 14th April to raise funds for Centrepoint. Centrepoint is a charity dedicated to helping homeless young people across the UK. By supporting my marathon journey, you're not only cheering me on, but you're also making a tangible difference in the lives of vulnerable individuals.
My Marathon Journey:
Just two years ago I could only run 3km if there was a flat white stop half way round. Since then I've managed work my way through the distances going from park run to the Manchester 10km last May, and then the Manchester Half in October. Now my sights are set on conquering the full 26.2 miles in the Manchester Marathon.
I've been training hard since January and I'm apprehensive and excited to take on the challenge in April. I still have the lure of a flat white to get me round, I just have to run a bit further before I can stop for one!
