Willow is the only UK charity supporting seriously ill 16 to 40 year olds by providing unique and positive Special Days. Since 1999 Willow has fulfilled more than 23,500 Special Days for young adults living with life-threatening conditions such as cancer, motor neurone disease and cystic fibrosis.

Story

In 2009 the Willow Foundation gave my brother, AJ, the most unforgettable day.  He and his best mate, Brookie, went to watch England v Wales at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff for the 6 Nations.  

It's time I gave the Willow Foundation something back!

So this year I was taking part in 3 challenges, but with the Lincoln 10km being moved. It's now 4!

Leicestershire Half Marathon - 18th April 2021 
01:45:54

Heanor Midsummer 10km - 25th June 
45:52

Yorkshire Marathon - 17th October 2021
4:13:53

Lincoln 10km - 31st October 2021 
47:56


If I can raise enough to give 1 person an unforgettable day too, that would be perfect!

As I train throughout the year, you'll see updates from my Strava.  

I'll share photos and updates when I complete each challenge too!

At Willow we believe in quality of life and quality of time. Willow is the only national charity working with seriously ill young adults aged 16 to 40 to fulfil uplifting and unforgettable Special Days. This year we hope to fulfil 1,400 Special Days – a day to anticipate, to share and to remember when happy memories really do count. Sadly for some, it’s a last chance to fulfil a dream with the people that really matter. Thankfully for many more their Special Day is an important opportunity to put much-needed normality back into living.
