Story
I remember hearing my husbands voice as he told me my sister had been trying to call me in the middle of the night.. something was terribly wrong "Callum's passed away" he said, almost in disbelieve himself. It feels like only yesterday as we approach 1 year since Callum left us..
Callum was a gentle giant (literally at 6ft) his smile infectious to those around him and his laughter lingers in our ears today, he was just 20 years old when he passed away, and although Callum faced a lot of obstacles in his young life - you would never know with his witty sense of humour "I've farted" or "pull my finger" tended to be his go to crowd pleasers!
On reflection of Callums happiness we realised one place in particular played a massive part to this; Alfreton Park; Callums school.
Alfreton Park cares for pupils aged between 3 and 19, many of which have severe, complex and profound learning difficulties. They work tirelessly to ensure that each child reaches their full potential - and boy did they achieve Callums!
So as a thank you, we want to give something back to Callums former friends of Alfreton Park, something that continues to make them laugh and smile now that Callums no longer with them to pull a joke.
"How about a trampoline?" they said. We couldn't think of anything more fitting - many of the pupils at Alfreton Park will have never had the opportunity to go on a trampoline due to mobility issues - this is crazy, let's change this! £4000 will be a tough task but we can do this! I can do this.
I'll be running the Great North Run this September and plan to blog all of the highs and lows of my training - we'll also be posting about all of our other exciting fundraising activities to achieve our target!

6 years agoSo just over a week ago Callum’s Crew headed to Newcastle for our main fundraiser at The Great North Run! How time flies!!! It was honestly the most exhilarating, overwhelming experience but equally brutal, thank you all so much for your wonderful support and donations! BUT I still feel unfinished for Callum’s Crew... so I’ve had a crazy idea and will be giving it one last push to to get us over £5000!!!!! I’ll be running the Robin Hood half marathon in just two weeks time 😬 target is under two hours!!!!! 💪🏻
