Paul’s 10K a Day for Foodbank

Ramsey man Paul Shanley is asking islanders to donate to this fundraiser as he aims to run 10KM each day in 2022.

Having surpassed his target of £365, Paul is continuing his efforts, with all the money going to the Isle of Man Foodbank.

Paul said: ‘Its 10 years since my dad passed away so I wanted to do something in his memory. Last year I did 1000 km in 100 days so wanted to see if I could go 1 (265 days..) better by running at least 10k every day in 2022 and raise a bit of money for a good cause in my dads memory whilst I do it.

‘It was hard choosing a charity as theres so many good causes out there. I decided on the food bank though as times are hard and people need it. We were never rich growing up but my mum and dad worked hard to make sure we never went hungry, unfortunately people now can work full time and still struggle to feed their families and with the cost of living crisis its going to get harder for everyone. I know my dad would agree this is wrong and so in memory of him I hope to raise a bit of money to help the foodbank help families and anyone else who needs them.’
