Our Why 🇺🇸🎗️
Whilst we love raising money for incredible charities, Compton Care is one that will always be close to our hearts.
In 2016 Compton provided their incredible services to my Uncle Gary as he battled with pancreatic cancer as well as supporting my aunty, cousin and all our family through what was an incredibly difficult time. They have since then supported a number of family members with their amazing services.
Gary was an Uncle, a best friend and a lovable giant. But he was also an American Marine, with an infectious laugh and someone who would go out of his way to help anybody.
In keeping with our family tradition me and my dad ran the Wolverhampton Marathon the following year for Compton dressed as Marines in Gary’s memory raising £1,000’s of pounds in his name.
10 years on and what better way to continue to honour his memory than raising funds for a charity we’ve been helped by first hand. I know he’d be looking down and laughing at us for how ridiculous we look!
We’re now so close to the £1000 goal so any donation would be greatly received!
