In those 10 years we have continued to be inspired by his lovely, adventurous, playful nature. It is fitting therefore that we mark this poignant milestone with a fun lifestyle challenge that everyone can join, doing as much or as little as you wish or are able. Over the last ten years Jamie’s legacy has extended far beyond our family and has touched many lives, particularly in Uganda. Jamie’s Fun
d, set up in Jamie’s memory continues the work in his name. We would like to encourage you, either as an individual, family or team of friends, to to join the Challenge and to aim to raise a minimum of £200. The Challenge will run through the whole of July. For the more active among us there will be some specific challenges you can sign up to that have set targets (walking 50 miles during the month, running 50 miles, swimming 10 miles or cycling 200 miles.) The challenges can be attempted individually or as a family or team of friends where each person banks some miles into the overall pot. If the set targets aren’t for you then we invite you to set your own target and we will cheer you on (such as walking round the block every day for the 31 days of July, learning to swim, doing ‘dry’ July or losing half a stone – or something else entirely..
