200km in May for Verity's Gift · 2 May 2020

Verity’s Gift is a charity set up to give help to local causes. Our first mission is to raise money to refurbish the Emsworth park children's play area. We want to create a place where people of all ages can come and visit, relax. Myself and the team are excited to be launching Verity’s Gift, a registered charity in memory of my beautiful wife, Verity. In 2018, my life got turned upside down when Verity unexpectedly fell ill and was taken to the hospital. Verity passed away four days later, leaving Harriet, aged 4, myself, our families and friends reeling. It was hard to imagine life without Verity. I had imagined that we would grow old together, have amazing times and see Harriet grow up. During these dark times, there was one place that Harriet and I would go to reminisce. A place where Verity had spent many times with Harriet - Emsworth Park. It was the only place, Harriet would be able to raise a smile and reconnect with her mum again.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I was absolutely honoured to be approached by Topsy to take part in an event for his charity, in memory of his late wife Verity. 

Goal 1 for the charity 'Verity's Gift' is to raise £100,000 to rebuild the play park in Emsworth. It is used widely by so many local children, but quite frankly as it stands, it is more of a risk than a safe place. 

Verity, Topsy and their daughter Harriet played at the park lots as a family before Verity's sudden passing. As a legacy in her memory, the hope is to create a secure, safe place for other families to build lasting memories and enjoy the outdoors.

The charity has huge plans for the future, beyond the play park. Anything you can give will be appreciated!
