Story

What can I say about my uncle Podge he was one of the greatest men I've ever known. He was a loving father, husband, brother, uncle & friend to many. He went through a lot over last few years but always managed to get through it and never complained. Unfortunately at the beginning of this year he had a major stroke, and passed away a few months later - there are no words to describe our loss and it’s still very painful to talk about.

My dad & I are going to walk the entirety of Cleveland Way (https://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/cleveland-way) near the North York Moors which is about 110 miles to raise money a wonderful charity called neurocare . They did a fantastic job of looking after my uncle Podge and for that I would love to raise as much money as humanly possible for them. So please sponsor us for the insanely long walk across the North York Moors and I will be forever in your debt.
