In 2026, we mark 10 years since Pete’s suicide—the inspiration behind Sunflowers. To honour his memory and the countless others whose lives have been lost to suicide, the Sunflowers Team (INCLUDING ME) is taking on the 100km Cotswold Way Ultra Challenge. This is more than a physical test—it's a tribute to resilience, remembrance, and the power of community.

🌄 The Challenge

On 13 and 14th June 2026…… Starting from Cirencester basecamp, the 100km Ultra Challenge loops route winds through the heart of the Cotswolds—rolling hills, charming villages, and stunning views.

💛 Why We Walk

Sunflowers was born from grief, but it blooms with hope. Every step we take is for someone we’ve lost, someone we support, and someone still finding their way. This Ultra Challenge is a pure reflection of what Sunflowers stands for—endurance, light, and love.
