My Story

Hi, I'm Lindsay. Last year I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with the Jo Cox Foundation and see first hand the amazing work the foundation does. 

Jo was a remarkable woman, a wife & mother, an MP and a humanitarian. The Jo Cox Foundation was set up after her murder to continue working in the areas Jo was passionate about; supporting communities to better understand each other following her belief 'that we have more in common than that which divides us', championing civility in public life and supporting women overseas to seek representation in democracy & to forge a better life for their families. 

I want to use this huge challenge of running a 10K for the first time and in this year that I have turned 50 years old. Jo, herself would have been celebrating her 50th birthday this summer had her life not been cut short so brutally in 2016.

I would be hugely grateful if you would consider sponsoring me and supporting the fantastic and much needed work done by the Jo Cox Foundation. 

Thank you!

Lindsay 

The AJ Bell Great Manchester Run is the biggest and best running event in the North West. Starting and finishing in the heart of the city, runners soak up the amazing Manchester spirit the whole way round & pass iconic landmarks on their journey to the finish line.

With over twenty rocking entertainment zones, some of the best (and loudest!) crowd support anywhere in the world, and all the action televised live on the BBC, It’s an event day experience like no other.

It’s not all about the adults, the Junior & Mini events give the kids a chance to experience that finish line feeling, earn a special medal & raise money for good causes.
