Story

In 2024, we lost our little brother Joe.

On the 14th July this year, Joe would have turned 30, so to honour his memory we are taking on the Cumbrian Run in aid of Eden Valley Hospice — the incredible hospice that cared for Joe throughout his life and continues to support our family even after his passing.

This challenge means more to us than we could ever put into words. Anyone who knows us will also know that neither of us are runners by any stretch of the imagination, which makes this feel both emotional and slightly terrifying in equal measure.

Eden Valley Hospice gave Joe and our family compassion, dignity and support during some of the hardest moments of our lives, and this is our way of saying thank you whilst helping other families receive the same care.

Every donation, message and share honestly means the world to us. Dig deep we have a big fundraising target for an amazing cause and in memory of a true gentleman 💙

Go big or go home.
