Story
In early December our days were made a little darker by the loss of a great friend, father and husband - Steve Watkins. Leaving his wonderful family and all of us far too soon, we wanted to create a fund for his wife and two young children to help aid them through this difficult time. Among other things, this will allow them to take a trip to scatter Steve's ashes in the mountains - one of his favourites places to be.
I will be running the Brighton 1/2 marathon on February 23rd in memory of Steve and his love for being outdoors. It would be wonderful to think of everyone cheering Steve and me along the race!
Thank you to everyone for thinking of Steve, for remembering the light he brought to the people around him and for the love and support this will bring to his amazing wife & boys. xxx

8 months agoWell we did it! Braving 50mph gusts of wind and cold stormy weather, Sarah and I got through 13.1 miles of tough running. Sarah nailed it and got a PB (because of course she did! 😄💪🏻) and did an amazing job! So proud of what she accomplished yesterday, she is such a role model to her beautiful boys. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported this page, your encouraging messages have been brilliant for Sarah to read. And thank you again for all your generous donations, they will be such a massive help to Sarah, Oliver & Sam xx kenz

8 months agoSarah, the boys & I are all so incredibly touched by the wonderful generosity and amazing messages of support by everyone - thank you so very much. It's going to be an emotional day on Sunday but has we know, Sarah is just incredible and she will face this challenge head on as she has with every moment since Steve passed away. Hoping for the weather to settle down, but windy, rainy, stormy we're getting through those 13.1 miles!
