Story

Back story:

A little bit about our good friend Harry July... 

He was diagnosed with eye melanoma when he was 18 (back in 2011). In typical Harry fashion he shrugged it off, never complained and always remained positive. He proceeded to have a successful operation removing the tumour and soon regained full sight in his eye. Unfortunately, the tumour came back and despite Harry showing positivity and determination until the very end, to fight this awful disease, it was ultimately terminal on January 9th 2017. Harry lived a vibrant and full life and one that will never be forgotten by all those that loved and adored him.

Princess Alice Hospice: Harry spent his final weeks at the Princess Alice Hospice, and he only ever told me how amazing and nurturing it was for him and made him feel safe during his last days. On top of that he was convinced that all of the nurses loved him of course.. It is a charity that is very close to the hearts of all of Harry's family and friends. Princess Alice Hospice is funded purely through donations and they are struggling significantly at this time with many of their brick and mortar stores closed, and many fundraising events on hold.

Lucky Number 7 - Run 7k, Donate £7, Nominate 7:

In memory of Harry’s life and paying tribute to his lucky number and number while playing at NPL football club (7) we will be running 7 x 7 mile runs in 7 days. Then it’s your turn! We will nominate 7 of our friends to run 7k, donate £7 and nominate 7 of their friends and so on. Put simply - Run 7k, Donate £7, Nominate 7.
