I'm Sophie (she/her), and i'm running the Sheffield 10k on September 24th for SAYiT, a Sheffield-based charity, supporting young LGBTQ+ people & those affected by HIV through education, group work & provision of resources. As well as this, SAYiT also provides outreach & education programmes to local schools & youth settings on LGBTQ+ awareness, HIV & sexual health. Their work is crucial for the people in & around our city & SAYiT have been helping with LGBTQ+ issues since 1999
This is my second time running the Sheffield 10k. Last year I ran for Great Ormond Street Hospital's Children's Charity, raising £100 & completing the course in 1 hour, 3 minutes & 56 seconds. This year, my two goals are to beat both of these -- raising more money for an incredible charity & completing the course in a faster time than before (aiming for ~1 hour)
If you are able to support & donate it would be greatly appreciated! Please share it on social media & feel free to come down & watch on September 24th! Thank You!
