We had seven amazing volunteers who took on the mighty challenge of the Virtual London Marathon on Sunday 2nd October on behalf of Team Daniel.  Such an incredible effort. A huge thank you to Tanya, Ruck, Zoe, Mark, Ioana and the two Michelles!  They raised a huge £1,571 between them.

Here’s why Michelle Manning decided to take on one of our charity places:

“I knew Daniels story through my friendship with Daniels Auntie Nicole. It was devastating for Daniels family and friends and it still remains a struggle for them today. What they have done is to turn that heart ache into something good so that no other child and family have to go through this by setting up Team Daniel, which is a small charity supporting children and young people in Leeds and London.

I have always wanted to take part in the London Marathon but was always unlucky in the ballot. When Nicole asked if I would take part for Team Daniel I had no hesitation in saying yes.

It has been an honour to take part in memory of Daniel and for my mate Nicole and the wonderful work Daniels mum Emma is doing along with the many Team Daniel volunteers and charity trustees.

 Children face many challenges in today’s world and it’s the small charities like Team Daniel that can provide the support needed in local communities.

Keep up the great work Team Daniel xx “
