Running 21km for Children & Community: Please Support Our Great Manchester Run!

 

Dear friends, family and colleagues,

I’m excited to share some big news: On Sunday, 31 May 2026, my friend Jose Antonio (from Equatorial Guinea) and I, Jorge (from Argentina), will be taking on the AJ Bell Great Manchester Run Half Marathon — that's the full 21.1 km through the vibrant streets of Manchester!

We’re both incredibly motivated and training hard because every step we take will support three very meaningful charities. All funds we raise will be split equally among them, going directly to help:

1. Fundação Angelica Goulart (Brazil) — Providing education, care, and opportunities to children and teenagers living in situations of social vulnerability in Pedra de Guaratiba, Rio de Janeiro.
   → https://www.fundacaoangelicagoulart.org.br/

1. Manchester Deaf Centre (UK) — A welcoming hub right in Manchester where Deaf and hard-of-hearing people connect through social events, BSL classes, wellbeing groups, a Sign Language Choir, Job Club, Youth Group, and much more.
   → https://www.manchesterdeafcentre.com/

1. SOS Children’s Villages, Aldeas Infantiles in Spanish (Spain) — Working tirelessly to protect and improve the lives of children and young people without parental care or at serious risk of losing it, giving them a safe home and a brighter future.

This run is more than a personal challenge — it's our way of bringing together people from different continents to create real, positive change for vulnerable children, youth, and communities.

If you’d like to support us (every donation, big or small, makes a difference!):

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for any support you can give. We’ll keep you updated on our training journey!

With gratitude and best wishes,

Jorge (Argentina) and Jose Antonio (Equatorial Guinea)
