My Story

I've worked with the Newcastle West End Food bank and others in the area for years.  Having heard the stories of some families struggling and having grown up in a deprived area, my family and I try and make regular donations

Unfortunately, those needing help from the foodbank are now outstripping the donations coming in so they need our help now more than ever.

It try and run once per week so don't feel like I can ask for sponsorship without doing something extra.  To that end, I will be running with a 200L giant baked bean tin strapped to my back to raise awareness about the foodbank, with my donation URL on the sides (runs4food.com!)

Someone created a promotional video for me here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGSDx3gGhq4

Many thanks have to go to James from ITP Packaging (https://itppackaging.com/) who donated the drum and delivered it for free!!
