Hi all to all of us from Run4Stoke24

Firstly thankyou for being here and reading our story and goal,

I have set up a running club within Stoke on Trent and gathered people that have never ran a half marathon before, some never even ran at all before however we now have 2 running sessions each week training for the half marathon in 20 weeks with the goal to raise money by all of us completing the Potters Arf on September 29th 2024,

I myself have seen first hand through various charity work the dire need of support that our local charities really need yet sadly don’t get, so I want to change that WE want to change that. And with your help we can.

Last year we helped an estimated 700 people in Stoke On Trent by the walk to Manchester that was completed, this year I’ve decided we are going to help 4 charities and they are listed below,

-Stoke Royal Hospital Cancer Ward

-Emmaus- provide assistance to more than 800 households who need essential furniture and appliances eg beds for children(Lord Mayors Charity)

-Period Power - eradicate period poverty(Lord Mayors Charity)

-Bridging the gap mind matters- therapy & PT sessions for people on low income/struggle with mental health

Stoke Ameture Theatre Society- Helping people from age 6-65 to express them selves and put on great shows throughout Stoke on Trent,

All of these charity’s mean so much to our city and that’s why we have decided to try and raise as much money as we can to split between them by 10+ people completing a half marathon when they have never ran one before!

Whether you can donate £5 or £100 every single penny will help us to our goal and will change so many people’s lives, so thankyou!
