It's Stuart Pid Hall again and I'm pleased to say that Dan Spincer and myself will be pimping up our wheelchairs and taking part in the LOROS Hospice Twilight Walk in Leicester on Saturday 20th June. This will not only help us raise vital funds for a charity that was a favourite for Claire but also allows us to take part in a local event which will be great experience and one we are looking forward to.
Our fundraising page is https://www.justgiving.com/page/twilightwheel
or you can use the QR Code as attached. Thank you for your continued support as always.
We are raising money for LOROS Hospice but this will also add to the legacy for Claire and help keep her wonderful memory alive.
Miss you so much Cuckoo but you have a home in my heart forever. # # #

Stuart Pid Hall here and I’m pleased to say Dan Spincer and myself yesterday completed the first event in our 5 Race Challenge … the Bristol 10k.
We found it to be a pretty tough course for our wheelchairs with lots of steep hills, narrow streets, cobblestones, gravel, and at least 10 hairpin turns! Not too easy in wheelchairs that have no sense of direction!! 😱
Thanks as always to Ollie and his team at the Great North Run but a HUGE thank you as well to the people of Bristol who turned out in their numbers and their amazing support certainly helped us get up those hills.
We are supporting both Nicholls Spinal Injury Foundation and Whizz Kidz and obviously everything helps us keep alive the memory and legacy of Claire.
Our page can be found at https://ajbellgreatnorthrun2026.enthuse.com/pf/5racechallenge
and £5 donations can be made by texting INSPIRED to 70470.
Thank you all for your continued support. # # #
Miss you every day Claire and you will have a home in my ❤️ forever. # # #
