Running the Manchester Marathon for local foodbank

I have been volunteering for my local food bank for nearly 2 years.  Over that time, One Can Trust has been providing food parcels to up to 850 people every single week (about half of whom are children).  The charity is a tremendous asset to the local community - in addition to providing food for households who are struggling, there is a clothes bank, toddler group, community cafe sessions and cookery classes.  

I would like to use the marathon as an opportunity to raise vital funds for this very worthwhile cause.   It’s on 14 April, and I am half way through my training - 60km last week and slightly more this week.  Just 3 more Sunday long runs before the real thing 😀.

One Can Trust is based in High Wycombe and serves the town and the wider area of South Buckinghamshire.  It is run by a small staff team, alongside 300 incredible volunteers.  It received the King’s Award for Voluntary Service last year in recognition of the work the charity does.
