A team from & will be running the Spartan Race on the 8th October 2023 - a sprint race of 20 gruelling obstacles over a 5km course.
They are running to raise financial support to assist the Wakefield-Smith family. Ollie collapsed near the end of a half marathon race on the 3rd September. Severe heat stroke led to a number of complications with bleeding (including blood failing to clot and a peripheral bleed around his brain) and multiple organ failure. He has been in ICU for over 4 weeks and remains critically ill. His liver is not functioning properly and he is on kidney dialysis. There have been some positive developments over the last week (he has come off the ventilator, blood clotting has improved and the peripheral bleed around his brain has been absorbed), but length of recovery is still very much unknown.
Ollie works as a contractor and is currently unable to work. It is impossible to know how long it will be until he is able to work again.
The team are doing this run in order to support his wife Natalie and his 16 month old daughter Jasmine, during an incredibly challenging period.

Any support you can offer, however big or small, will go a long way to helping Ollie and his family. All money raised will go directly to them. We know they will be so grateful and that it will help ease at least some of the financial burden at such a difficult time.
Thank you for your support!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
