I started working with Sean after reading an article on the BBC (see below).

In November, Sean and I planned to complete Haddington Parkrun as a challenge for him and to raise funds for two charities - Dadswork and Action Cerebral Palsy, both organisations close to Sean's heart.

Sadly, Sean passed away in June, so I'm planning to complete the event in his memory, raise funds and raise awareness of taking care of both your physical and mental health - things Sean had asked for my help and support with.

I'll complete the Newbiggin by the Sea Park run on Saturday, November 2nd, and continue running up the Northumberland coast towards Scotland.

I plan to complete the Meadowmill Park run on Saturday, November 9th (it starts at 9:30 a.m.), bringing my weekly mileage to 100 miles. Sean played football in his youth at Meadowmill, which is the closest parkrun to where he lived in Haddington.

To minimise costs, I'm planning to utilise the Couchsurfing app for free digs, which could be interesting!

Dadswork played a crucial part in Sean's life, initially answering an SOS to replace a broken Hoover and then helping him recover from a reclusive life after COVID. They helped him find employment at The Pennypit Trust, and he later joined their board to give back.
