Wolverhampton fundraiser Manny Singh Kang is set to take on Manny’s Mile this September, and we’ve teamed up with Sorted Print Services to help him get ready for it.
Manny will run 50 miles across 50 Wolverhampton schools over two days, visiting 25 on Thursday 17th September and another 25 the following day, with pupils and staff at each school encouraged to join in, cheer him on and take on some fundraising of their own.
We made Manny a batch of little hand-waving flags, working alongside the team at Sorted Print Services. Dan knows Emma at Sorted through the Black Country Chamber, so when Manny needed something for pupils to wave him on with, one phone call was all it took to get things moving. Manny has now picked the flags up, and he and his helpers will be getting them out to all fifty schools ahead of the big two days.
“It’s going to bring out heroes,” Manny said. “Young children who may have never done anything like this, may have never run, may have never thought about fundraising.”
The flags are a small thing in the grand scheme of Manny’s Mile, but for us and the team at Sorted, they’re a reminder of how Black Country businesses tend to operate: firms stepping in for each other, and for good causes, without needing to be asked twice.
Manny’s Mile takes place across Wolverhampton on 17 and 18 September. You can support Manny yourself by clicking this link and donating!
