We have a HUGE thank you and well done to say today to Helen, Steve, and the entire Ashman family! 🌟
Steve recently completed an Ironman and Helen completed a 50km Ultra Challenge. 🤯
The Ashman family have been on an epic mission this year to raise money for Sobell House in memory of Dave Ashman, who sadly passed away in June 2024.
For a little bit more context:
The first challenge was Abingdon Marathon in 2024, which Dave's sons Pete and Steve completed on October 20 in under 4.5 hours. The second challenge was a 24 hour row-a-thon which saw them hit over half of their fundraising target! Pete and Steve covered 295.5km, alternating an hour off / on between them.
The next fundraiser was undertaken by Steve and his wife, Helen, who hiked to the summit of Snowdon six times in six days (a different route each day!) on March 31, with some additional family and friends joining them along the way.
Steve, Helen and Pete then finished up the Ashman family fundraising by running the Oxford Half Marathon last Sunday. In total, the family has raised over £12,000 for Sobell House!
We are absolutely speechless and just ever so grateful for the effort, energy, and determination you all put into this incredible year of fundraising. THANK YOU to the Ashman Family, you are all Hospice Heroes. 💜
