Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As many of you know I am not a natural runner, finding the time and energy to train can be challenging. However day in day out I am privileged, through my role @YoungGlos to watch young people take on challenges, respond to negative situations in positive ways and generally push themselves out of their comfort zones to achieve better lives for themselves. The young people therefore are my inspiration to complete a marathon and whilst doing so raise money to continue being able to provide them with the support they need to realise their potential.

There are many young people stories that I could share with you to help you understand what YG achieves, however there are too many to share here so visit our website to find out more. I will leave you with the words of Jamie who like so many young people have realised their potential due to the support offered from @YoungGlos

'I lost my confidence, became anxious and didn't leave the house for six months. YG showed me what it was like to be wanted, believe in myself and take control of my life. If it wasn't for them I don't know where I would be. Now I am rebuilding my future. I have dreams and I can look after myself because I am working in a job I love with a team I love.
