Over 2021 myself, Pat, and a group of old school friends are going to be taking part in all sorts of challenges in memory of our friend Hugh Jones who sadly passed away in 2011 at the age of 18. 

In December it will mark the 10 year anniversary of a legend who was taken far too early. Hugh was a memorable figure; funny, cheeky, & caring to all his friends & family. We have so many incredible memories of Hugh and we're so lucky to have known him. 

We want to do something BIG to mark 10 years and we'll keep you posted on future endeavours we've got planned, once they are all finalised (anyone that knows us we'll testify that organisational skills are not high up our skillset!). What feels even more important to us is the fact Hugh even now has the ability to bring a bunch of old school friends together & if we can raise some money for a great charity in the process - even better!!

So why Head for Change? Hugh being a proud Welshman at a mainly English school loved to voice his opinion on how great Wales & Welsh rugby was. When ever he was play fighting or on the rugby pitch he would shout 'release the Popham', harnessing his favourite Welsh rugby player, Alix Popham. At the same point we were searching for charities Alix bravely announced his diagnosis of early onset Dementia & launched his charity 'Head for Change. It's a great cause & one we are looking forward to supporting in 2021. 

We've already had a lovely amount of support from Alix and his family, including getting the opportunity to share stories of Hugh over the phone & he even got a shout out on a Welsh rugby podcast.
