Our Head Coach and ambassador for the Greater Manchester Mayor’s Charity, Paul Rowley and Head of S&C, Gareth Whittaker went down to support their latest fundraising event.
The Manchester 24 Hour Run Against Homelessness is a mass participation group relay run that is held over 24 hours.
Runners and walkers set off together in waves to complete 5km laps in the city centre of Manchester, all to raise money for the Greater Manchester Mayor’s Charity scheme ‘A Bed Every Night’.
Beginning at Freight Island on a frosty Wednesday morning, a mixture of personalties, sponsors and volunteers set off on the first of many laps through the streets of Manchester in an effort to tackle a big issue in the region.
Rowley and Whittaker were part of the first two laps alongside Coronation Street star, Calum Lill. completing a total of 10km.
The challenge was completed at 12pm last Thursday, with plenty to celebrate after raising over £50,000. There’s still time to donate, so click HERE to access their JustGiving page.
