3 Coronation Street women doing Great Manchester Run

Coronation Street stars Tina O’Brien (Sarah Platt) and Cherylee Houston (Izzy Armstrong) will both take on the Manchester 10k run on Sunday, 28 May. 

Tina will be raising money for the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital. 

Cherylee completed last year’s Great Manchester Run in a high-tech wheelchair and will return for 2017, once more raising money for her own Triple C – Creative Confidence Collective, whose aim is to make theatre accessible for all. You can find out more on Cherylee's project here.

And a former honorary starter of the Great Manchester Run, ex-Coronation Street actor Denise Welch (Natalie Barnes) is a long-time supporter of the event, dating back to when she starred in Coronation Street. Denise will complete the 10k this year.

Sponsor Samia Smith and Anthony Cotton in Great Manchester Run

I've been asked by the nice people at the Kirsty Club charity to give a mention to Coronation Street's Anthony Cotton and Samia Smith (Sean Tully and Maria Connor).

Anthony and Samia are both taking part in the Great Manchester Run in May to raise funds for the Kirsty Club in support of Francis House Children's Hospice. There are places left for the run and any Corrie fans could be running next to Anthony and Samia.

Corrie fans can also sponsor Antony and Samia at http://www.thekirstyclub.com/. All sponsor names will be put into a draw and at the end of the run the winner will get to meet Anthony and Samia and also receive loads of Corrie memorabilia. There are some great Corrie pictures on the Kirsty Club website too.
