Fundraisers embark on 500 mile challenge to raise money for friend's son
Two Harrogate fundraisers are embarking on a combined 500 mile run throughout January to raise money after their friend lost her life to bowel cancer.
Emma Egerton died on December 10, 2022, leaving behind her five-year-old son Oliver.
As a result, Sarah Long and Nikkie Brown, Emma’s friends, have sought to take on the challenge to raise money to set up a trust fund for Oliver and raise awareness of bowel cancer in the process.
The pair will embark on around eight miles per day in an effort to reach the 500 mile target before the end of the month.
Sarah said the two friends were taking on the challenge to help give Oliver a future after losing his mum.
She said:
The pair have so fair raised £980 towards their cause.
For more information on the campaign and how to donate, visit Sarah and Nikkie’s JustGiving page here.
