For 200 years, discoveries made at Manchester have changed the world. But for everything that’s already been achieved, there’s much more left to do. You’ll make sure the best researchers bring us closer to solving our world’s biggest challenges.

Story

Last year, I completed the Purple Wave 10km for Cancer Research at The University of Manchester. There was a heat wave, no shade and it was overall one of the hardest races I've ever done.

So naturally, this year I'm doing it all over again - but we're tackling the half marathon instead.

I'll be raising money for life-changing research at UoM. From cancer to stroke, climate change to global inequality - experts are searching for answers. But they need our help to make it happen faster.

By making a donation, you'll help brilliant people to explore big ideas and uncover new, life-changing discoveries for the benefit of us all.

So please join me in supporting Manchester's life-changing research by sponsoring me today.

Thank you!
