Story

From the top ( Northumberland & North Tyneside), the middle ( Manchester & Nottingham) & the bottom (East Sussex) of the country Sam, Simon, Claire, Stu, Jeff, Chloe, Nathan, Luke & Emily will be running a virtual half marathon in memory of our beloved Grandad/Father in Law Dave & Uncle/ Brother in Law Mark.

We wanted to come together as a family to not only set an individual personal challenge, but collectively remember Dave & Mark as well as raise funds & awareness of the impact of Stroke. We’re asking for sponsorship for all team members a target of £50 each, then hoping to jointly raise at least £300 as a team for The Stroke Association charity. 

We’ll be setting out on the Saturday 18th September in different locations to complete the 13.1 miles ( maybe not finishing at the same time due some tortoise & hare disparity in pace times! Please do sponsor an individual team member or the team as a whole to help us remember Dave & Mark as well as raise much needed funds for this worthy charity. 

Thank you 🙏
