This year I will be partaking in the inaugural WillVember… A thing I invented after a few beers in memory of Will Houghton.
Will was a funny, clever, loving, inquisitive and motivated young man with a love of family, the outdoors, sea and cycling. He died in a road accident while on a training ride near his university in Portsmouth. The Will Houghton Foundation was created in his honour.
Since that tragic day in 2016, I’ve been thinking a lot about how I could help raise funds for the WHF… I’m not the greatest cyclist in the world, unless it’s a 90’s BMX with stuntpegs, so that rules me out of most WHF events… However, I’ve decided to think more about Will as the bloody good bloke he was. Which is why I’ve decided to #BeMoreWill for a month in the first ever WillVember. If #BeMoreWill was everyone’s mantra, I believe the world would be a better, healthier, funnier and more cleverer place!
So what is WillVember I hear you ask? It’s simple really. I will be doing the following throughout November;
If you have any other suggestions for Will-style challenges, then please get in touch.
The WillVember closing party will be held at The Book of Mormon, Will’s favourite thing in the world. A glass or two will be raised.
What can you do to help? Give me money obviously! Donate as much as you possibly can! The WHF will appreciate every cent you part with…
Please have a little gander at what the WHF is all about;
