Stronger Together Campaign 2026

Chester Triple Series
10km - 8th March, Half Marathon - 17th May, Marathon 11th October

Some challenges in life are chosen. Others are not.

Stronger Together was born from two life-changing journeys that tested us in ways we never imagined — but also showed us the true meaning of resilience, hope, and recovery.

Sally faced breast cancer with extraordinary courage, enduring the physical and emotional impact that comes with a diagnosis that changes everything overnight. Like so many families, we experienced the fear, uncertainty, and overwhelming reality that cancer brings — and we saw first-hand how vital the right support can be during the darkest moments.

At a different point in life, I faced a battle with my mental health that nearly cost me my life. A suicide attempt left me with permanent physical challenges, foot drop and neuropathy in my left leg and neuropathy to my left hand and arm. Recovery has not been simple, and it has not been quick — but it has given me a renewed sense of purpose.

Together, we made a decision: our experiences would not define our limits — they would define our mission.

In 2026, we will take on the Chester Triple Series as part of our Stronger Together Campaign, raising vital funds and awareness for mental health support and cancer care. This is far more than an endurance challenge for us. It is a statement that recovery is possible, that hope can be rebuilt, and that no one should face their hardest battles alone.

Every training session, every mile, and every finish line represents something bigger than sport. It represents the people still fighting, the families walking beside them, and the power of compassionate support when it is needed most.

We want to use this journey to start conversations, break stigma around mental health, encourage early support, and remind anyone facing adversity that strength often appears when we least believe we have it.

By supporting Stronger Together, you are helping organisations that change — and save — lives. You are helping provide essential care, guidance, and hope to those navigating cancer and mental health challenges.

Most importantly, you are showing that even in life’s toughest moments, none of us are truly alone.

Thank you for standing with us, believing in this mission, and helping us turn survival into purpose.
