70 miles in June for Colleen

Samara Barnes is raising money for Barnardo's
In memory of Colleen Wightman

70 miles in June to celebrate my mums 70th birthday · 1 June 2025

When life gets tough or it feels like there's nowhere to turn, Barnardo's is here. We make sure children and young people feel safer, happier and more hopeful by directly supporting them with specialist services across the UK. We have been changing childhoods and changing lives for over 150 years.

Story

My mum was a fierce advocate for Children and Young People.

From starting her career working in children's homes, to fostering dozens of children and being a social worker.

All she ever wanted was for young people to have the best chance in life.

Sadly my mum died before her 70th birthday and I'm raising money for Barnardo's in her honour.

Ive worked for Barnardo's for nearly 13 years, she was so proud of this and I know that she would love to be able to support this amazing charity.

Please consider sponsoring me as I run (well, maybe jog) 70 miles in her honour for what woukd have been her 70th birthday on 23rd June.

I know things are tough. Thank you for your support.
