Story

Kimberley Cameron, 27 years old, a passionate cyclist and runner, tragically passed away on Friday evening, 16th April 2021, after being involved in a road traffic collision.

Kim would regularly cycle the roads around Buckinghamshire.  She took part in many national events raising money for her favoured charity, Diabetes UK,  including our own local, Tour De Vale.  As a type 1 diabetic, she was determined to not let it impact her life. She was also a keen runner and recently had been pushing her pace on her 5km runs, and was getting stronger.  She had set herself a goal to complete a 10km run by the end of April.  On Friday night, after a really positive day and good conversions with her family, she decided to pursue her 10km run.  Sadly; she didn't come home.

Her Dad, Kevin, and brother Jamie, with the support of her Mum, Liane, will be running the 10km route that Kim had planned to run, by the end of April. They are doing this in her memory.  

Her family and friends would like you to honour Kim's memory in May  by completing a 10km activity.  This could be running, walking, riding, hiking - anything really; individually or as a team relay and could be done in one go or over a number of days.

Kim was an effervescent, bubbly, radiant young lady who impacted all those fortunate to be in her company.  She will be remembered for her positivity and determination to overcome all the challenges she faced.

With that in mind, we ask you that, during your 10km challenge, to post pictures of yourselves on social media and use the following hashtag:

#unitedwedidkims10km

Let's finish this for Kim, together.
