The Message Trust is up for another challenge… the Great Manchester Run, UK’s biggest and most prestigious 10k, which returns to the streets of Manchester for the fifth time this May!

On 20th May 2007, Andy Hawthorne, founder and CEO of the award-winning organisation, will lead once again a dynamic team of staff, volunteers and supporters as they run to raise money to help fund the work of The Message. This year we thought that we would make it easy for you to sponsor our hard working runners by setting up an online giving facility specifically for the run. So here it is and it couldn't be more straight forward!...

Select your Runner!

If you would like to sponsor one of our runners, whether it's someone that you know or you'd just like to get behind the team, your first step is to choose a runner from the pick list below. You can sponsor our team by selecting 'ALL RUNNERS'.

Make your donation

Now all you need to do is decide how much you want to give and enter the figure in the box below. If you pay UK income tax you can increase the value of your giving by about 1/3 through Gift Aid at no extra cost to you! To do this please simply tick the box below.

I would like to give pounds to the work of The Message.
