A big #SaturdayShoutout to Izzy Watts and her amazing community in Powys! 🧡🌟 Izzy was inspired to fundraise in support of a close work colleague whose grandson passed away at 14 from Ewing sarcoma. "Nothing will inspire me more to continue on with my 100-mile attempt and raise what I can for Ewing sarcoma research." She took on the gruelling The Epona 100 challenge, with an elevation gain of 17,000 ft over 100 miles, scaling 23 mountains in Wales. Izzy completed this unbelievably tough challenge in 39 hours and 13 minutes! 🏔️💪 Despite the mental and physical rollercoaster of taking on this event, with her longest race to date being 52 miles, Izzy pushed through. At the last checkpoint, she was ready to quit, but her husband and the checkpoint marshals encouraged her with food, coke and coffee, sending her on her way 😅 Izzy’s incredible effort and determination have raised a phenomenal £7,418 for vital research into Ewing sarcoma. Thank you, Izzy, for your amazing dedication and to your community for their support! 💛👏 Feeling inspired to organise your own event?

This week’s #SaturdayShoutout goes to the incredible Bethany Barnes who completed her second 7.5 mile fundraising walk around Ennerdale Water this July, joined by around 70 friends and family members 🥾🧡 In December 2019, aged 22, Bethany was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. Just one month later, she went on to complete her first fundraising walk, raising an amazing £4,700 and vital awareness along the way. In the months that followed, Bethany had her hip, femur and knee replaced and received multiple rounds of chemotherapy. After completing her treatment, Bethany’s scans remained clear for three years. Devastatingly, in October 2023, Bethany was diagnosed with a recurrence of osteosarcoma in her hip and had no option but to have her leg and part of her pelvis removed. When reflecting on her second Ennerdale Water walk, Bethany shared: “I'd love to hopefully finish off my cancer journey this summer by doing the same walk I started with to raise more awareness and money for this amazing charity.” We’d like to say a HUGE thank you to Bethany and all her supporters for raising an incredible £7,600 this summer and a phenomenal total of £12,300 across both walks. Your support means the absolute world to us ✨🧡 Feeling inspired to take on your own epic challenge?
