Tewkesbury Half/10k for SARA

Jess Haffield is raising money for SARA
In memory of Luke Haffield

Tewksbury Half Marathon/10k · 12 April 2026

SARA is the largest multi-disciplinary search and rescue organisation in the UK. It operates inshore lifeboats on the tidal Severn, Wye and Usk, and provides inland water and land search & rescue throughout the Severn Area, 24x7x365 with over 150 qualified all-volunteer crew from 6 Stations.

Story

In December 2025 I lost my brother in a sudden and tragic accident. Luke was a light in this world and to live without him seems impossible.

For myself and my family, there is a huge part of us missing. Having your life change within an instant is something that no one can be prepared for.

Volunteers at Severn Area Rescue Association (SARA) worked passionately and eagerly at any safe opportunity to aid the emergency services in their search for Luke. The kindness, dedication and support of these volunteers helped our family at such a painful time and we will forever be grateful.

Myself, Sam, Amber & Bertie, alongside some of Luke’s work colleagues, will be running the Tewksbury Half Marathon and Tewkesbury 10k on April 12th 2026 to raise money to support SARA.

By paying tribute to Luke and inviting donations in his memory, we hope to reflect the generosity and warmth that he gave so freely.

Any kind donations will support the Severn Area Rescue Association (SARA) in continuing their vital work, helping individuals and families who may find themselves in a similar position to our family, and ensuring that Luke’s light continues to shine through acts of care, support and hope.

Thank you,

Jess & Family
