In memory of Chris ‘Hunter’…

I’m Ben, and if you’re here then I’m sure you are aware that in March this year, “Hunter” sadly passed away aged just 35. He was my best mate, and he had that honour for roughly 17 years.

It’s been the worst time since March, so I felt it was important to give myself a goal and something to focus on.

So to treat myself, I’ll be running the Great North Run on my birthday (7th September 2025).

I will be raising money for two charities - the British Heart Foundation, and Mind (Mental Health charity).

Hunter absolutely loved his job as an Assistant Headteacher, and I have received dozens of messages from students after he had passed, telling me how he had changed their life. Hunter had worked a lot with students who were struggling with their mental health. I want to contribute towards a charity that supports young people who struggle.

Any donation is greatly appreciated.
