Story

Our friend Lee Deacon passed away earlier this year after a long fight with cancer. To remember him, and raise money for Sarcoma UK, a group of his friends and loved ones will be taking part in a walk around his home town of Bournemouth, stopping at places that were important to Lee at various stages of his life.

We'll be walking all the way across Bournemouth visiting places like his school, the hospital he was born in, the AFC Bournemouth ground - home of his beloved Cherries - and ending in Mudeford, a place very special to Lee. All told, the route will be around 15 miles.

We're doing this to remember Lee and to celebrate his life. We've also decided to raise as much as we can for Sarcoma UK, a charity doing vital work in curing this terrible disease, and supporting those who suffer from it.

Any help you can give would be much appreciated. And wish us well on our trek!
