Hey everyone,

I've decided to run the Manchester Marathon on April 16th 2023!

After completing the Bristol half back in 2018 I've always wanted to tick off a marathon... so what better than the FLATTEST marathon in the UK! To keep me motivated I want to raise some money for charity on behalf of two very special people who are sadly not with us today.

Jackie Davies
Asthma & Lung UK - From research and campaigning to advice and support, as the nation’s lung charity they are on a mission to change the way that lung health is perceived. Specifically researching IPF, which would help others like Jackie to find a treatment, cure or a better way to diagnose lung disease. Find out more about their impact here - https://www.asthmaandlung.org.uk/our-impact/

Iain Love
With the nod to Scotland, I wanted to support Kayleigh's Wee Stars. The family-run charity based in Scotland supports families with children that are terminally ill. The money raised goes towards day trips & supporting parents with bills/time off work to make memories together. More info here - https://www.kayleighsweestars.co.uk/

Any support for the above charities would be greatly appreciated.

Wish me luck!!
