I have always been active and sporty, but never a runner. In fact running is the activity l always found hard. After spending many years working to increase sporting opportunities for young people, and having been blessed with two healthy and active children of my own, im more passionate than ever to help children with sporting ambitions to belive and achieve. Inspired by Alex and his family, I will take on the challenge of Manchester 10k, raise funds for localchildren and help spread awareness of the symptoms of meningitis!
