Mandy’s Manchester Marathon 4 RunFree

Hi everyone!

My name is Eddy, & I persuaded my mum to enter the Manchester marathon on 27th April.

As she didn't have a charity place, she made the heartwarming decision to raise money for Run Free - a group that myself & my friend created to provide free sports sessions in Southend, to those that suffer with their mental health. This is a cause very close to my heart for various reasons. Here is what my mum, Mandy, had to say on her own experiences with mental health & using sport to help: “As some of you know, life has had its challenges for us as a family over the last few years, and one of my coping strategies has been running. I truly believe sport can make a difference.”

Every £1 will go towards our pitch costs and activities to enable us to put these sessions on for free.

Mum’s final note: “P.S. I have vastly undertrained for this due to an ankle injury, so any donations will make me feel useful by motivating me to finish!!”

thanks for taking the time to read this & if you do want to help, but can’t afford to donate then please share the link
