Story
We are raising money in memory of our James and Dave. From Thursday 25th May - Sunday 28th May Jeremy Butterfield and Ollie Ward will #DOIT4JAMES&DAVE. 4 Ultra Marathons in 4 days, running from Liverpool to Harrogate.
It's been 2 years since our best friend James sadly lost his battle with Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS). During his various types of radiotherapy and chemotherapy James fought so hard and showed extreme mental resilience. This something we want to live up to and carry forward in our lives and in each fundraiser we partake in.
In December 2021 Dave devastatingly lost his battle with Covid-19. Dave was the most thoughtful, caring, gentle and humble human who did so much for children and teenagers across the district.
Half of the money raised will be donated to Sarcoma UK, a charity very close to James and his family’s hearts. Half of the money raised will be donated to The David Brown Foundation, set up in memory of Dave to continue the work he devoted his life to.
Both James and Dave never gave up in their fights and we will continue their legacies to help others fight the challenges they are facing. Every step of the way (if we can call it a step by day 4) they will be with us, probably with a wry smile and a Peroni in hand). Forever in our hearts James & Dave, we love you 💙
As part of the preparations Tom Flannery & Tom Booth will be doing the London Marathon on April 23rd alongside Jeremy & Ollie.
Please donate as much or as little as you can. Every donation is massively appreciated and will go great lengths to helping those who need it most.
2021 - 3 marathons in 3 days ✅
2022 - 24hr cycle ✅
2023 - 4 ultras in 4 days ⌛
Thank you from the both of us x
