Story

Where to start? We lost my gorgeous wife Sarah on the 20th June 2022 to a brain tumor, it shook our world! Sarah had a heart of gold and was so kind to everyone she met. She leaves behind two beautiful children Molly and Oliver, her parents Gordon and Maureen, family that love her dearly and an endless amount of friends and colleagues. She was the kindest person you could ever meet and would always go the extra mile for anyone in need. She was special and we want to honour her and we want to raise awareness of this increasing disease so other families don't have to go through what we have.

We (myself, Molly, Oliver, Gordon and her best friend Emma) have decided to go the extra mile just like Sarah did every day and virtually walk from our house in Newcastle to Sarah's favourite place Disneyland Florida, starting on 23rd October 2022 and finishing on Sarah's birthday 23rd May 2023 when we (myself, Molly and Oliver) will complete the last few steps in Disneyland Florida when we visit next year. 7 months or 212 days to walk over 4000 miles!

It won't be easy but with the memory of Sarah and the support of family and friends we hope to achieve it and make her proud.

Please give what you can and support us in our challenge.

Thank you
