Story
On the 1st of April 2019 I lost my Mum to heart failure. She was only 71 years old and it broke my heart.
Most of you will know just how important my mum was to me and the man I am today is down to the unconditional love and support she gave me throughout my life.
Mum was cared for in her last few weeks by the amazing staff at the critical care unit in Milton Keynes Hospital and I am hoping to raise some money to buy a much needed specialist chair which allow critically ill patients like Mum to be cared for in comfort.
On the 31st of July I am running home to Chester from Mums house in Milton Keynes.
The distance is around 150 miles and I will be running almost exclusively via the canal network.
I realise things are tight for many due to Covid but if you can spare anything it would be very much appreciated and I will be doing daily updates to show my progress.

4 years agoWell..... I finished. It was very tough and my feet are in bits. I have raised well over my money target and have been blown away by everyone's charity. The page will stay open for another week and then I will make the payment to the hospital. Thank you everyone x

4 years agoSo today saw me finish day six in Nantwich. 25 miles completed today and around 23 ish tomorrow. People continue to donate and we now have enough money for two specialist chairs. This has been a really hard challenge and my feet are in absolute bits with blisters everywhere. However, I feel you need to suffer a little when doing things like this and believe me I am suffering. I will be glad to sleep in my own bed tomorrow night and be able to walk around in flip flops. Early night tonight!! thanks again to everyone for your support. Sam
