Raising money for Stanley Young Peoples Club

I've been a keen runner with my local running club Derwentside Athletics Club but have never attempted a marathon before.

This year I decided to set the target of becoming a marathon runner before I turn 40 (in November!)

Training has been a challenge (5.30am alarms, 5 runs a week, freezing weather conditions to name a few...) but it should all be worth it on April 27th when I hope to complete Blackpool Marathon!!!

I wanted to use this opportunity to raise some funds for a local charity. Stanley Young Peoples Club do some great work, providing free access to some wonderful activities and events to the young people of Stanley. In addition the charity funds Pact House which provides a safe space and food donations to those in need in the area.

If you can donate anything at all the charity would be so grateful and be able to continue with their fantastic work in the local area

Thank you

Scott
