Seven years ago in June, ten year old Jack Covill-Lowndes lost his mummy Steph to cancer. The charity St. Barnabas gave a great deal of care and kindness, not just to Steph, but to all the family. Words cannot express how grateful the family were to them in a time of need. Jack feels that should other families be in the situation they were, that St. Barnabas would be there for them too.
Jack has longed to be part of race for life since he was 5, and is increasingly frustrated that as a boy he can't take part in a local event. That is why Jack is organising run to remember.
Jack said " I want to help St Barnabas because they helped me by helping my mum. I helped her a lot with my family and was only 3 when she went to heaven. She is my shining star!
So let's raise lots of money to say thank you!"
The event is taking place
on Saturday 8th June 2013 at the Magdalen school field in Wainfleet with registration from
10am and the run beginning
at 11:00. Participants will pay an entry fee of £3 for which they will be able to run, walk or crawl three times around the school field and earn a medal supplied by Running Imp. There is also the option to raise more money by collecting sponsorship using an official sponsor form from St. Barnabas.
