Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 22nd June I will be taking part in the P24 Virtual Run. At 8am I will be running 1 mile on the hour every hour for 24 hours from in and around Hereford. I will be doing this in aid of the Ely Memorial Fund. This will be a real challenge for me given I'm asleep most nights by 9pm!! 😴

The Ely Memorial Fund was set up in memory of Emma Louise Young (E.L.Y.). Emma tragically lost her life in a road traffic collision. She was just 23 and only Daughter to Ange.

The fund was set up in March 2011 with the objective to relieve financial hardship for families within the County of Herefordshire if their son or daughter, between the age of 17 to 25, is tragically killed in a road traffic collision.

They provide a condolence gift to contribute towards the funeral costs so a family can mourn and arrange their child’s funeral without the added stress and financial burden. They also provide help and support through other groups, such as looking into life insurance, will writing and emotional support for victims of road traffic collisions.

Their other objective is to support young people across the county of Herefordshire to become safer drivers, educating them in road safety to help reduce road collisions involving young drivers.

I have worked alongside Ange over the past 4 years in various Road Safety roles I have undertaken, I have witnessed first hand the dedication she puts in to the charity as well as the pain she has to relive each time she tells her personal story in a bid to educate young people.

I understand times are tough at the moment but if you can spare even the smallest amount I (and I know Ange) would be most grateful.

Thank you so much ❤️
