I'm going to run this year’s Manchester 10k to raise funds for the Ashton under Lyne based Willow Wood Hospice.

As a patron of Willow Wood I wanted to do something to raise vital funds for this amazing charity, I grew up and lived in Newton for many years and know about the tremendous work the Hospice does for local people. I was delighted when they asked me to become a Patron and that’s when I decided I wanted to do something special.

After having my hip replaced I decided I wanted to do something that would push me to my limits and the Manchester 10k seemed a good place to start.

I've not done any real exercise for years, but now I am!

I will get round, how fast? Who cares?

I'm not going to do it on my own so I am “recruiting” as many friends and relatives as possible to join me.
