Story

In November 2023, Archie Vokes ran an incredible 100km to raise funds for the awareness, prevention, and treatment of prostate cancer. This cause was deeply meaningful to Archie and his family, who witnessed firsthand the impact that such efforts can have on families affected by this disease

Archie had ambitious plans for November 2024—he intended to run a marathon every weekend throughout the month. Sadly, in December of last year, Archie & his mother tragically lost their lives in a devastating accident.

In honor of Archie’s dedication to this cause, we will be taking on this challenge in his memory and would love to raise as much money as possible in his name.
