Story

Great South Run - 19th October 2025

Alton Towers Half Marathon - 16th November 2025

Paris Marathon - 12th April 2026

Since the Great South Run was cancelled last year I feel like a run is owed and whilst I’m not sure I could manage a marathon just yet I will be running the Alton Towers Half Marathon not long after the Great South!

*UPDATE*

Foolishly I said earlier on I wasn’t ready for a marathon but my big brain has decided to sign up for the Paris Marathon 2026! Will be the hardest and most mentally challenging run I have done but I am beyond excited and couldn’t be doing it in memory of anyone better!

We lost Lee 12 years ago now and the place it left our family in was something nobody should ever have to experience. My daughter will never get to meet her Uncle Lee but will know him through stories and other people and will see what his memory means in the fundraising done with him in mind.

The Foundation has been going from strength to strength gaining more caravans and the more money raised means more retreats and more support for more families. Anything you can give is greatly appreciated.

To support persons suffering from bereavement or loss. Relieving mental and physical distress and saving lives through contact, support and holistic alternative care by providing retreat and respite centres, and promoting activities proven to benefit health.
