Thanks for visiting! I'll be running the MK Rocket 5K (now in June) to raise money for St Mark's Meals. St Mark's Meals put together and distribute meal boxes to feed children and their families who otherwise might go without. 11,000 children in MK live in poverty but no child should go to bed hungry. Each box costs roughly £5 to make and feeds a family of 4. No donation is too small and all are received with gratitude and humility.
From their website:
To be hungry as a child means your tummy hurts, which means you can’t focus on your lessons at school, or your body isn’t healthy enough to fight off illness, or you shiver a lot because you are cold, or you feel embarrassed when your friends snack or talk about dinner. And whatever the reason your family is struggling, when you are 6, there is not much you can do about it. That’s why the help has to be ready, and in place for the precise moment that someone finds out that you need help.
St Marks Meals Boxes are stored in over 60 schools, children’s centres and community hubs across Milton Keynes. As soon as a teacher or other professional realises that a child will not eat dinner that night, they can invite a family to choose from a selection of delicious dinner options. And if they need dinner again tomorrow night, they can…cos no child should go to bed hungry.
Well done Chris! We are very proud of your efforts and determination. From everyone in the Arts1 family x
Go Chris Go
Run Bradders Ruuuuuuuun
First training run today. First run outside in a VERY long time. Outdoor running is not a strength of mine, but (apart from my knees knacking) it felt pretty good. 3.7K in 28 mins (there was walking).
Well done Chris! We are very proud of your efforts and determination. From everyone in the Arts1 family x
