Story
In the summer of 2020, we lost Steve Parish, a good friend and colleague. I am fundraising with friends from work in memory of Steve.
As a group of colleagues, we first came together as part of a Leadership course at the council and have remained good friends ever since. Andrew, Ben, Maria and I want to do something to remember Steve and raise some money for a charity very close to our hearts, South Kent Mind. We want to help those who suffer from mental health concerns and their families too.
We are running/cycling on the 10th July on a 10 mile route around Ashford, stopping at community projects Steve was involved in. Since coming up with this idea, we have been joined by colleagues and ex-colleagues who want to remember Steve too and now there are a team of about 12 of us. With the pandemic over the past year, very few of us have been able to get together to share our memories. This will be the perfect opportunity whilst doing something for a great charity.
We hope this will be the first of several fundraising events over the coming year or so and we are so grateful for any small amount you are able to give.
With very many thanks,
Sal xx
