On 4th July 2026 Ruth, Gill, Jazz and Dave of Blackwell's, Loudoun's and Montagu's regiments in the English Civil War Society will be hiking a section of Hadrian's Wall to fundraise for Marie Curie in memory of Gill and David's dad, Norman Bell.

Norman sadly passed away on 30th January 2026 after a short illness. Norman recieved the best standard of care through Marie Curie, who were able to make his final days as comfortable, dignified and well supported as possible for both Norman and his family.

Norman loved hiking in Northumberland so we think that this will be a very fitting tribute to celebrate the life of such a lovely, life loving man.
