My Story

In 2019 we lost our much loved friend, Max, to suicide. We have found running an incredible way to have time to process and deal with the loss of Max. All the money we raise will go towards the Max Hunter Fund, which was set up by Max's close friends in partnership with the amazing Mintridge Foundation. The activities leading up to the main event;

On Sunday 1st August 2021 Dan, Bruce, Sophie and Alison will be doing a 13.1 mile route around London  HALF MARATHON.

To help raise funds for this event we are hosting a golf day on the 17th of July - if you are paying for your space on there please donate £40 to secure your spot. 

We are asking for your support in raising a total of £1000 to go towards the Max Hunter fund, which will be keeping our much-loved friend’s fun, caring and sporting memory alive as well as changing perceptions and challenging stereotypes in the process. They will deliver mentoring programmes across the UK focussing on Max’s favourite sports and encouraging a new dialogue around how to look after our mental health just as we do our physical.

The Mintridge Foundation’s successes demonstrate the incredible power of sport; from a mentee’s selection to represent Great Britain in their chosen field to enabling disabled children to find confidence and happiness just through participation. Understanding life after sport, they also support our Ambassadors in their transition from active sport to the next stage of their careers.

The Mintridge's team of Ambassadors - Olympians, Paralympians and other professional sports stars from over 20 sports, both team and individual - work with young people in schools, clubs and academies across the UK. Starting with visits including assemblies, coaching clinics and classroom sessions tailored to each organisation’s requirements, ambassadors can then provide one- on- one remote mentoring in a safeguarded environment, delivered via technology such as Skype, FItSwarm and Playwaze to build a lasting legacy for individuals.
