As part of my stag do I really wanted to raise some money in memory of the men in my life who unfortunately are no longer with us and to support charities who have helped ensure that some very important men to me and others are still around.

My crazy friends decided to support me in doing this by taking part in the Manchester Mo Run over 10k or 5k. I think they are regretting saying they are free that weekend already!

Our efforts will support Movember (via MoRunning) to tackle men's mental health issues, prostate cancer and testicular cancer and The British Heart Foundation. Feel free to donate to whichever charity you would like. Ideally it would be great to raise roughly the same amount for each charity.

To donate to British Heart Foundation click on ‘Jack Shaw’ in the team members section below.

To donate to Movemeber clock on ‘Duncan Tompkins’ in the team members section below.

For further details on each charity see the charity specific pages.

Thanks from Dunc and friends.
