Sophie’s 10k Run for Jack

Hello!

On June 1st, I’ll be running my first professional event (10k) in honour of one of my best friends, Jack, who I sadly lost in January this year.

Jack was one of life’s brightest lights, someone who inspired everyone around him with his strength, kindness, and incredible dedication to helping others. Despite facing serious health challenges, Jack never let anything stop him. He poured so much of himself into charity work, always focusing on what he could do, rather than what he couldn’t. He showed me and so many others just how precious life is, and how important it is to live life to its fullest.

Since losing him, I’ve been navigating the weight of grief and the whirlwind of life. But Jack’s spirit keeps pushing me forward. He’s given me the courage to say yes to the things I’d usually say a resounding no to!! So that’s why I’m running this 10k. For Jack. For the strength he always showed me, and for the charity that meant the world to him: Little Hearts Matter.

Little Hearts Matter supports children born with half a working heart and their families, offering vital advice, emotional support, and a strong community at every step of their journey.

If you’re able to donate, no matter how small, it would mean the world.

Thank you so much for reading, for supporting, and for helping me keep Jack’s light shining. Wish me luck for the 10k!! I’m going to need it :)
