Hadfield couple gear up for epic challenge for the Hospice

2 July 2024

This weekend, Hayley Kelsall and her partner Louis Worthington will be taking part in the Peak District Ultra Challenge to support patient care at the Hospice.

They have been training hard for months for the 48km challenge, which they will be embarking on in memory of Hayley’s mum Sharon who received end-of-life care at the Hospice last year.

Hayley, 26, and Louis, 27, plan to combine running and walking, hoping to complete it in 10 hours on Sunday (7th July) whilst taking in some of Derbyshire’s finest scenery.

Hayley said: “Thanks to Willow Wood Hospice, we were able to be by mum’s side and she was surrounded by loved ones in her final days. As Willow Wood heavily relies on charity to continue, we are raising funds to help ensure that other families that go through this will receive the same exceptional care and support that she did.

“We cannot thank the staff enough for the care my mum and the rest of our family received during and after her passing.”

The couple from Hadfield planned to raise £750 but achieved that in just one day! They then doubled their target and smashed that, so they are now looking to raise at least £1,750.
