Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Fundraisers: Sophie Rose, Vanessa Rose, Abigail Baxter, Michael Rose, Adrian Walsh, Benjamin Baxter, Andrew Gregory, Cameron Lochiel, Katrina Morton, Abbie Greenwood and Darshna Shah
The 29/06/2020 would have been David Rose's 52nd Birthday. He was an amazing Dad, Husband, Son, Brother, Uncle and all round person.
He lost his battle against mental illness on 13/10/2014.
The Pandemic is causing a mental health crisis, and what better way to celebrate his birthday and life, by giving back to MIND to help others who are affected by Mental Illness.
Team Rose will each complete a Socially Distanced 52k, between 29/05 and 29/06.
The London Marathon is just over 42k, so why 52k?52k for 52nd birthday. 52 years of this wonderful man making an impact on this earth, whether physically or through our memories.
How? Each member of Team Rose will split their 52k over the 32days how they see fit, and they can walk, run, cycle - however they see possible to have completed by David's Birthday!
