À propos de cet audio
This week's Running Tales Podcast has a somewhat different theme.
Our guest is Stan Robertson, the man behind Northampton-based rough sleeper charity Project 16:15.
Running Tales is once again backing the 16:15 Charity Run, which will take place at The Racecourse in Northampton, England on Saturday, March 23.
The event, which aims to raise awareness of and funding for rough sleepers in the town, will take place over six hours - with runners encouraged to run as long or as short a distance as they like over that period.
There is more information about the event on our Substack newsletter page and on the 16:15 Charity Run Facebook group.
Stan started Project 16:15 back in 2018, during the infamous Beast from the East cold snap, when he began delivering hot drinks and food to rough sleepers in Northampton town centre.
His over-riding aim is bring dignity and respect to those on the streets.

Running Tales spoke to Stan about the dangers rough sleepers face on the streets, how his own experiences of homelessness and addiction help him connect to those he now helps, and whether he will be doing any running himself on March 23...
