WGN’s Manager, Samantha, is running 10k to raise £1,000 for WGN
Samantha, is training for the Great Manchester Run 10k on Sunday 31 May 2026.
What is she fundraising for?
She’s aiming to raise at least £1,000 for our community group to subsidise two day trips for WGN Members to enjoy this year.
We know they really appreciate the chance to enjoy a sociable change of scene as part of a group outing. It wouldn’t be possible for most of them to organise their own days out e.g. to the seaside or to a Christmas shopping destination.
“Any trips – we’ll be there!” WGN Member
As with lots of things, the cost of coach travel is increasing. Therefore, Sam is raising funds to enable WGN to subsidise the coach costs for a summer and an autumn trip.
“This is the fourth consecutive year that I’ve dusted off my trainers to get fit for the Great Manchester Run 10k. I love being part of the Great Manchester Run and taking in all the landmarks along the route through the city. I’m aiming to beat my previous best time and smash my previous best amount raised for WGN.”
Want to donate?
A donation of any amount will have a direct impact. We know that times are tough at the moment, but if you feel able to help Sam reach her fundraising target, you can donate on Sam’s GoFundMe page here. Thank you (and of course, to all those who have already donated)!
