Dominic Sparks is raising money for Centrepoint

Team: Remembering Tristan Galvin-Sparks

In memory of Tristan Galvin-Sparks
Centrepoint is the UK’s leading youth homeless charity. Together with our partners, we support over 16,000 16-25 year olds into a home and a job every year. Our award-winning helpline provides support to vulnerable young people across the country. We campaign to end youth homelessness by 2037.

Story

I am running to raise money for Centrepoint, in memory of my son Tristan, who we tragically lost to a brain haemorrhage three years ago.

Why Centrepoint? Tristan was always very aware of the value of a supportive family, and the advantages it can bring you in life; Supporting Centrepoint hopefully goes some way to helping young people who don't have the same advantages, and we feel Tristan would have been happy with our choice.

This is an ongoing fundraising page, so please feel to donate again even if you've done it in previous years ;). I am aiming to reach £4000 running-total in 2025.

This year I am aiming higher, hoping to complete the Royal Parks Half Marathon in October.

And in the months leading up to that taking part in a number of other events.

In July - the JP Morgan Corporate Challenge 5.6k, and Standard Chartered City Race 5k.

And back in March I completed the Kingston Break-Fest 8 mile, and the Hampton Court 10k.

Your donations will help Centrepoint provide homeless young people, in London and the north of England, with accommodation, health support and life skills in order to get them back into education, training and employment
