Running for Goals and Good Causes | Manchester News

from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!

Tom Wilmott in Manchester is running a mile for every World Cup goal scored—over 300 miles so far—to raise funds for Brain Tumour Support and Compton Care hospice in Wolverhampton. Pushing through heatwaves and running double-digit miles back-to-back, he’s already smashed his $2,000 goal, nearing $3,000, fueled by community support and his own grit. Rising at 5 AM to run before work, he’s battling physical and mental fatigue, but the cause keeps him going. Though England’s World Cup exit was disappointing, Tom’s personal challenge has been deeply rewarding—and he’s proud of what he’s accomplished for charity.
