2023 Events in Memory of Pete

Fundraising Events in Pete’s Memory

This year a few of Pete’s friends and family have set themselves a challenge in his memory. I thought it would be lovely to share and celebrate each of them on this site, as in a sense they will be representing all of us who knew and loved Pete.

Alongside their training, they have also chosen to raise money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA), who improve care and provide vital support for those with MND and their families, as well as funding much needed research into finding a cure / treatments.

To find out more about what they will be doing and why, or to offer support or encouragement, please click on the links to their fundraising pages.

After each event has taken place, I will add some photos of the action!

Sunday 2^nd April – The Brighton Marathon

Ed Glasgow and Adam Green will be representing all our cousins in remembering Pete by taking part in the 2023 Brighton Marathon. Neither have done anything like this before so we’re very proud of them for setting themselves such a huge challenge, in the place where Pete enjoyed many a run along the seafront (all be it a lot shorter in distance!) when he lived and worked in Brighton.

The marathon starts from Preston Park in Brighton and finishes at Hove Lawns in Hove. It will take Ed and Adam past the vicinity of Brighton College where Pete taught Chemistry and along to the Marina, which Pete enjoyed going to from his Brighton flat. The route then follows the coast along the Promenade all the way to Hove. Ed and Adam will go along New Church Road, passing Aldrington Close, where Pete moved to in 2019 when he needed a more accessible flat, as well as circling Wish Park which he would sometimes cut through on his wheelchair enroute to Hove Lagoon, where we spent many happy family times. GO ED & ADAM!
