Karen and Espace Global Freight are remembering Pete.

Karen Cartlidge is raising money for Blood Cancer UK
In memory of Pete Allen

"Up the Wrekin" · 10 May 2025

We're dedicated to beating blood cancer. We fund research and support those affected. Since 1960, we've invested over £500 million in blood cancer research, transforming treatments and saving lives. The day we beat blood cancer is now in sight and our researchers are determined to finish the job.

Story

From Espace Global Freight

We are approaching the year anniversary of the passing of our beloved Pete. It will be a sad time for Espace as we reflect and remember on what a great man he was.

Pete would often say on walks at lunch that it’s hardly “up the wrekin” so we thought it would be nice to organise a walk marking the anniversary doing that very thing. Meeting on Saturday May 10th to head up the Wrekin near Telford in honour of his memory.

We will continue to raise money for his friend Karen, who earlier in October went up Everest in her own Walk for Pete and plans to do more. We will be looking to get sponsor donations to her existing cause which is still working towards it’s target here 😊 https://www.justgiving.com/page/karen-cartlidge-1722428434857

Please share that link around if anyone wishes to sponsor you on this Wrekin walk. Friends and family welcome to come join us on the walk too!
