My dear friend, Louise, died in April 2016 at the all-too-young age of 29. Aside from being a really fun and funny person, she had a depth and compassion like nobody else I've met.

Lou was exceptionally generous and passionate when it came to charitable causes. It's hard to choose one, but she was drawn to caring about homeless people. This is why I have chosen a Medway-based homeless charity and am asking you to sponsor me in this beastly task.

Lou would've hated the running! But I think she would love the idea that her legacy could be raising money that makes a difference to vulnerable people.

Thank you.
