London Marathon for Windmills in Becky's memory

Aim

Marcus is taking on 26.2 miles to raise funds for Windmills, a charity that supported our family through the heartbreaking loss of Becky

In May 2023, we lost our beautiful Becky at the age of 31 following a devastating six-week battle with secondary liver cancer.

Becky was a much-loved mum to two children, Bobby and Myla, who were just 6 and 9 years old at the time.

Windmills is an incredible charity based in Stoke-on-Trent, providing vital support to children and young people who are facing the loss of someone they love.

We were incredibly fortunate to have Windmills by our side during those unimaginable days. On the day we lost Becky, Zara and Leanne came to the hospital to support us in explaining to the children what was happening. Becky's deterioration had been so sudden that the children hadn't even known their mummy was so poorly. They helped us navigate one of the hardest conversations we would ever have to face as a family.

Their support didn’t stop there. They visited Bobby and Myla at school, helped create precious memories and keepsakes with Becky at the funeral home, and were there to support us at the funeral. They held our hands through moments that no family should ever have to face.

As a family, we will forever be grateful to Windmills. The compassion, kindness and understanding they showed us during the darkest time of our lives will never be forgotten.

What makes their work even more incredible is that Zara and Leanne are NHS nurses alongside running this charity, dedicating so much of their own time to supporting hundreds of families every year.

We want to continue giving something back to a charity that has given our family so much.

Becky's brother-in-law, Marcus, will be taking on the London Marathon in April 2027 to raise vital funds for Windmills, helping them continue their amazing work and support more local children facing the unimaginable, just as they supported Bobby and Myla.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a difference and help ensure other children and families receive the care and support they so desperately need.

Please donate if you can, share this post and help us raise as much as possible for a charity that means more to our family than words could ever express.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️
