Hi guys, I'm Joss from the Traytors and this year I am running the AJ Bell Great Manchester Run 10k.
00:11
Why am I running it? I don't really know. I've just lost the plot haven't I?
00:15
But hopefully I'm going to be able to complete it.
00:18
I think I have run a marathon in the past, back in 2021, so I'm hoping I've got a 10k left in the tank.
00:24
So my name is Amelia Thompson, I'll be running the Manchester Half Marathon in memory of Olivia Campbell Harding
00:30
who tragically lost her life in the Manchester Arena terrorist attack where I myself was present.
00:35
The charity that I'm running for is Liv's Trust, which is in her name, and it supports young children around Manchester
00:40
and it's in Olivia's legacy.
00:43
Hi I'm Helen Riva, I'm 43 years old and I'm from Wrexham in North Wales.
00:48
Today I ran my 724th consecutive half marathon of a thousand consecutive half marathons
00:54
all to raise money for various charities along the way, including Mind and Cancer Research UK.
01:00
I'm on a half marathon run streak for personal reasons due to bereavement of my ex-husband and my dad during this streak
01:08
so I'm running for them. I'm also running for people that can't maybe do it, people that want to start trying to run.
01:14
I'm here to try and encourage them to join in with me and by streaking with me.
01:18
Hi my name's Daniel Gillings, I'm an actor. I'll be running the AJ Bell Manchester 10k this year for Once Upon a Smile
01:25
which is a children's bereavement charity that provides bereavement support for children to understand and express
01:31
in a fun and safe environment and I'm one of the co-founders of that charity.
01:35
Hi there my name's Peter Ash, I'm an actor currently on Corrie and I'm running the AJ Bell 10k this year
01:42
for the MND Association. The character I currently play has MND in Corrie
01:48
so I thought it would be a great opportunity to raise some money and raise some awareness.
