Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

In May 2018 a bunch of running novices almost killed themselves by entering (and thankfully completing) a savage off-road 10km run for our dear friend Kelly Stabb.

Despite feeling very poorly at the time Kels made it to the event to cheer everyone on. She is at the front of the photo, with her awesome sons, Jake and Luke.

We sadly lost Kels later in 2018 but we remember her every day as an absolutely amazing person. We were truly privileged to have her in our lives.

Although we can’t bring Kels back she would love to know that we are trying to help others who are fighting the same cowardly opponent as she did. She kept punching back until the very end. Amazing!!

We’re not running a marathon, although it will feel like it to some of us! 😂

EDIT...... Additional message from Ali on behalf of the kids......

“With the adults running the Totnes 10k the children are also doing their part. Lyla and fin and their friends are running the Torbay half marathon in June and they would love it if you would sponsor them in memory of kelly ❤️“

If you can help us to raise a bit of money for Kels’ favourite charity it would be truly appreciated.

Thanks 😊💚💚💚🌈🌈🌈xxx
