Story

TWO HALF MARATHONS IN 7 DAYS (Bristol & Plymouth)

In December 2024 I lost my childhood best friend and brother for life, William. Will was one of kind - caring, generous, funny, curious and extremely talented. We spent our childhood and teenage years exploring rural Hampshire - riding bikes, skateboarding, climbing trees and doing everything young lads should be doing. Together.

I was lucky enough to spend a lot of time with Will in his final days, much of which was spent at Winchester Hospice with the amazing team there.

While I'm not in the worst shape of my life, I do manage a pub. If any of you know me well, you'll also know that I'm partial to a beer (or 10) so this is an exciting challenge for me personally with an even better motive. If you'd be kind enough to contribute anything that you can afford, it would mean so much to me.

P.S Will, please don't giggle at the jiggling beer belly while I run mate, I'm working on it.

"Winchester Hospice provides specialist palliative and end of life care to adults with life-limiting illness living in Winchester and the surrounding villages. It is a place of compassion, understanding, warmth and support at the most difficult time – a place where skilled staff are caring not only for patients, but their families, friends, carers and children too.

With your support, we can help to ensure that Winchester Hospice is there for the people of Winchester both now and for years to come."
