In September, HCR Law will be taking on something a bit special - S.A.S.H (Step Along in Sasha’s Honour).

This is a relay-style walk along the length of the River Wye (250km), starting on Friday 4 September with one group starting at the source of the River Wye in mid-Wales, and one group starting at the mouth of the River Wye at Chepstow. Both groups will converge in Ross-on-Wye on Sunday 13 September.

Why are we doing this?

S.A.S.H is in memory of Sasha Nelson, who we sadly lost a few months ago, at the age of 28. Sasha joined HCR as a paralegal and she qualified as a corporate solicitor in 2023.

Sasha was a bright, determined and hugely positive young woman and she meant a great deal to many people. Sasha was an outstanding colleague and friend. S.A.S.H feels like a fitting way to come together, do something positive and support a cause linked to her.

We will be raising money for Sarcoma UK. Sarcoma UK is a national charity that funds vital research, offers support for anyone affected by sarcoma cancer and campaigns for better treatments. Sarcoma is a type of cancer that develops in the bone and soft tissue. It is difficult to diagnose and one of the hardest to treat. Your donation will help researchers find answers, keep the support line open, and raise awareness to improve treatment and standards of care.

Our aim is to raise £10,000 and HCR have already given us a great head-start!

Thank you for your support.
