Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We are 4 of a 50 strong group taking in the Be More Ben Mountain Mission in June 2023.

Our mission is to walk 15 miles, across 8 peaks and a 5,000 ft ascent in one day in the Lake District. 🥵

This mission is to help raise funds for Be More Ben, the Benjamin Pritchard foundation, who support bereaved families with reliable, on-going support to help them cope with the loss of their child

To find out more about Be More Ben, please visit: http://bemoreben.org/

So, for any of you that know us, walking to a pub is about the best we currently do, therefore putting ourselves up for this challenge, really is just that a challenge. And if we can help make a difference and “be more Ben” along the way, then we will have accomplished our challenge.

Please give what you can. This really is a remarkable charity 

Thank you, Rob, Emma, Luke and Shannon xx

Our son Ben was diagnosed with DIPG, a very rare and aggressive brain tumour, aged 7. Previously fit and well, on diagnosis, we were told his tumour was inoperable and incurable and that we had at best a year left with our son. Despite taking part in a clinical trial and having intensive treatment, Ben passed away 6 months later. Following his death, we found little in the way of regular, ongoing support that was informal and for the whole family. To lose a child and feel that there is no help available to you is frightening and leaves you feeling isolated and vulnerable. We set up The Benjamin Pritchard Foundation – Be More Ben to enhance bereavement support and services for parents, families and siblings who have lost a child under the age of 18.
