Raising money for rough sleepers: Why Running Tales put on a charity run for the homeless

We've got something different for you this week on Running Tales.
On Saturday, in association with Michelle's Step Forward With Lewis fitness business, we held our inaugural 16:15 Charity Fun Run in aid of Northampton rough sleeper charity, Project 16:15
The event lasted six hours but participants could run for as far or as little as they like, with the only requirement being that they either raised money for the charity or gave a donation.
In all, we managed to raise more than £1,100 for Project 16:15.
In this episode Michelle speaks to the charity's founder Stan Robertson about why he formed it and about some of the people who have sadly died on Northampton's streets...
