Five years ago today we lost Olly.
It’s strange trying to put into words what the last five years have felt like. In some ways it feels like a lifetime ago, and in others it feels like only yesterday.
For those of you who never had the pleasure of meeting him, Olly was truly one of the most incredible people. So purely himself, so kind at heart, wickedly intelligent and insanely strong and determined.
It is such a tragedy that he is no longer here. That people no longer get the privilege of meeting him, knowing him and experiencing the person he was.
But his memory will always live on.
Check In On A Mate exists because of you, Olly. It was built from losing you, and it will continue to carry your memory forward in everything we do.
We love you mate. We miss you.
Check in on a mate.
