Story

Hi Guys,

I have decided to do run 100km in total till October 2016. I want to run a series of 10km runs and 2 half marathons (Swansea and Cardiff) of total distance of 100km (OMG....;-). It is only £10 for 1 km I will run :) 

You must ask yourself Why? Well I want to get fitter again as over the last year I was lazy sitting in the library ;-) but what is more important I want to support amazing charity - The Men’s Room. Their highly skilled and dedicated team works with men who are homeless and involved in sex work or are at risk of selling sex. Many of their Clients are struggling with other problems such as addictions, self-harming, mental health problems, HIV etc. Men's Room provide support through engaging those young people in artistic activities delivered by the resident artist. Experienced support workers also help their Clients to obtain accommodation, get back to education and gain professional qualification and training, access necessary treatment and counselling. Very often they support them by providing food and other essential items as well as help them in contacts with criminal justice system, social services and help them to re-build their relationships with their families.

Any pound given to support my fundraising and donated to Men’s Room will make a great difference as will help to support young men who often are seen as outcasts by the society and left without any real support. 

The plan to reach my 100km goal is to run the following races:

II 2016: Cardiff St. David's 10km

III 2016: Vale of Clwyd 10km

IV 2016: Bolton 10km

V 2016: Great Manchester Run 10km

VI 2016: JCP Swansea Half Marathon

VII 2016: Great North Run 10km

VIII 2016: Illuminations Night Blackpool 10km

X 2016: Cardiff Half Marathon

YAY:) Support me Guys :) It is only £10 for 1 km I will run :)
