15KM A DAY FOR NOVEMBER - MCR food bank fundraiser
Right, i’m going in again..
Last November as Manchester entered lockdown restrictions local foodbanks came under increasing pressure and seen a huge increase in the need of food support. At the time I decided to embark on a wee running challenge to help raise some much needed funds for the Manchester South Central Foodbank.
One year on and food banks are again gearing up for another surge in demand as the most vulnerable people are plunged into further poverty due to the end of the furlough scheme, steep rises in energy bills and the recent cuts to Universal Credit.
Last year we raised over £7000 running 10km a day for 30 days straight..
This year I’m gonna up the ante and ‘attempt’ to run 15km everyday in November.
Thats 105km a week..
450km over the month..
That’s an extra 35km a week and 150km across the month compared to last year!
If we can raise even a fraction of the money we did last year it will be more than worth it!! Any funds raised will help massively towards the pressures over the Christmas period and will help those most in need.
All donations no matter how small will be deeply appreciated and will go a long way.
Also, any runners out there hit me up! I’ll need some support & encouragement to stay on track!
And we’re off.. ♂️
