I know what you are thinking... mad eh? Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro at the end of September 2024, followed by both Aly and I hot footing it over to Disney World Orlando to take part in the Disney Half Marathon in January 2025... I best get training! All the funds raised on this page will be going direct to the Genie's Wish, not towards the activity themselves - costs have all been covered.

Who are Genie's Wish? Well something I learned from my precious daughter Evelyn is that life is precious, its short (and for some much shorter than others) and that each day must be lived fully and purposefully. Life is for living. That is what Genie's Wish do - they help people to live the fullest life they can when diagnosed with a terminal, critical or life limiting illness.

Their mission statement:

The Genie’s Wish is a UK registered charity whose mission is to enhance the lives of people aged 0-40 years, living in England and Wales, who are suffering from a critical or terminal illness or living with a life-limiting medical condition. Our purpose is to bring respite and joy into the lives of our beneficiaries and their families, by providing them with a life-changing wish, experience, or ongoing opportunity. We also provide wish experiences, bespoke events, and activities for young carers, aged 5-16, in recognition of the bravery, kindness, and selflessness they display on a daily basis by caring for a family member.

If Evelyn had survived knowing that there was a charity like Genie's Wish to help her live her fullest life would have been so special to us.

I know I will be able to accomplish these challenges as I am doing it for Evelyn. She changed the world, and it is my mission to ensure her legacy continues.
