Story

Hi, and welcome to our fundraising page πŸ‘‹

On Sunday 19 April 2026, Rachel and I will be taking on the adidas Manchester Marathon, starting at Old Trafford, Manchester.

We’re running the marathon to raise money for Cash for Kids, supporting children and young people across Greater Manchester who really need it.

Every penny raised stays local, helping to ease poverty, support children with disabilities, and improve quality of life for families right here in our community. Any donation, big or small, will make a genuine difference and is hugely appreciated.

If you do choose to sponsor us, we’d love it if you could leave a photo or video message too. It will mean a lot on the tougher miles of the run.

Below you’ll find updates on our training, fundraising progress, and hopefully some kind words from those who’ve supported us along the way.

Thank you so much for your kindness, encouragement, and generosity in helping us support this brilliant charity πŸ’›
