Please wish Ffion, Jordan, Suri, Charity and Ama 'pob lwc' as they take on the SheUltra Women’s only Ultra marathon tomorrow (11 April) in memory of their dear friend, Sarah Seddon.

The team will be fundraising for FTWW. “FTWW is an important charity to us and Sarah’s family,” said Jordan, “because now more than ever Women deserve the right to adequate healthcare – to be taken seriously by Doctors and have access to the treatment they require. Women should not have to suffer in silence. This challenge will be hard, but we’re determined to get it done – with Sarah in our hearts!”

Our huge thanks to Ffion, Jordan, Suri, Charity, and Ama for their fundraising efforts, and our deepest condolences go out to Sarah’s family and all who knew and loved her.

Find out more and sponsor the team via our website:
