Story
The Go4it Fund was created in 2015 in memory of Ivan Purdie.
Ivan was a man of action and he inspired the people around him to live life to the full. When Ivan was diagnosed with a rare and incurable form of cancer in 2011 his world was turned upside down, but his attitude remained the same. Despite being extremely unwell at various points throughout his five-year battle, Ivan never once focused on his illness, used it as an excuse, or let it stand in his way. Instead he continued to vigorously pursue his goals and his passions in life, always encouraging others to “go for it!” too.
The Go4it Fund was established to keep Ivan’s bright light shining. We organise events that inspire people to live life to the full and raise funds to empower those impacted by injury, illness and loss to do the same.
All proceeds from our events go directly to Hertfordshire Community Foundation who administer the Go4it Fund (registered charity number 1156082; Limited company registered in England under number 8794474).
Many thanks for your support!
