Stories from our fundraisers
“My dad died four years ago when I was 28 and my life turned upside down. My younger sister was just eight years old at the time. So to be able to raise money for Winston’s Wish, a charity that guides children through grief, is very close to my heart. Fear and anxiety are things that have taken a front seat in my life since my dad died and I know this skydive will be my personal way of embodying the phrase ‘feel the fear and do it anyway’.”
Poppy
“We [University of Leeds Celtic Cheerleaders] were all really upset to hear the Leeds Half Marathon was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, but we weren’t going to let that stop us! We didn’t want to let down the charity or all of the people who had donated by cancelling the challenge completely so we came up with the idea of a solo run. We have girls living in pretty much every part of the country, so between us we are going to run the 190-mile journey from London to Leeds.”

“I brought a bike just a year ago to help get fit, cycling a couple of times a month. When I came across Winston’s Wish I really related to their vision. I wanted to help children who have also lost a parent, and after seeing their places advertised for the 100mile route [Prudential RideLondon-Surrey100], I decided to give it my all and signed up. The furthest I’d ever cycled before the event was 40 miles. It’s an incredible route and I still managed to take in all of the sights.”
