570 Tonnes in Memory: Honouring Nicola on Her Birthday for Manorlands Hospice

James Williams is raising money for Sue Ryder
In memory of Nicola Burton

In loving memory of my beloved partner, lost to cancer. On her birthday I'm attempting to lift/press/pull 570 tonnes in one gym session to support Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice in Oxenhope, UK · 26 June 2026

Sue Ryder is here to make sure everyone approaching the end of their life or living with grief can get the support they need. There is no one size fits all when it comes to how we cope and the help we need, but with our support, no one has to face dying or grief alone. We are there when it matters.

Story

In loving memory of my beloved partner Nicola, who bravely fought cancer but passed away far too soon. On what would have been her 57th birthday - 26th June 2026 - I'm taking on an extreme personal challenge at my local gym, Flacks Fit 24 in Bingley, UK: attempting to lift, press, and pull a total of 570 tonnes (that's 570,000 kg!) in a single session. Every rep, every lift will be dedicated to her incredible spirit, positivity, and the love we shared.

This is for Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice in Oxenhope, UK - the place that provides specialist palliative care, pain relief, emotional support, day services, complementary therapies, counselling, and vital bereavement help to families across Airedale, Wharfedale, Craven, and north Bradford. No one should face the end of life or grief alone, and Manorlands ensures compassionate, expert support is there when it matters most.

Donations fund this free care that changes lives - just as we wish it could have for more moments with Nicola.

Your support means the world. Whether it's £1 per tonne, £26 for her birthday, or any amount, every donation goes directly to Manorlands (0% JustGiving fees). Together, we can honour Nicola by helping others through their hardest times.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,

James
