Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Jane Bollen was one of the kindest individuals we ever knew.

She inspired countless generations and helped thousands of children in their education. Never scared of the extra work to help them grow. She was an inspiration to everyone who ever met her

The care and love she brought to so many people’s lives was immense. She always put others before herself and cared for so many people. She loved teaching, it was her passion in life to help people and she always made time for even the smallest of things.

She would always go the extra mile for anyone, and there is the next theme for my next Charity run. On the 10th/11th July I intend to run 27.3 miles (1 mile more than a marathon) in 27 hours. The rules are simple: every hour, I must run at least 1 mile for 27 hours. (It's one way to hit my marathon target).

All this in aid of raising money for the magnificent Beechwood Cancer Care Centre Stockport. During Mum's treatment last year they provided much needed support for her, especially when she was in hospital during the first lockdown.

However, I'm hoping it won't just be me going the 'extra mile' and inviting anyone who knew Mum to take part in walking/skipping/running/hopping/dancing a mile to help raise money for Beechwood. Mum used to love organising things like this and would always ensure anyone could take part no matter what.

If you would like to take part please let me know.

If anyone would like to join me for any of the miles during the 27 hours please let me know and I'll message you the location details and we can get planning.

Thank you
(Please share this to spread awareness if you can)
