Stacy Whittington was our great friend and1/3rd of the Southern Supremes, we all worked together and as we are all based in the south, this was our team name, we had many adventure together, and when she passed away on 31st May 2023 we wanted to ensure we could raise some money for Cardiac Risk in the Young with a charity event we knew she would be laughing at us for taking on. So, we set our sights on the South Coast Challenge, which was fitting for us “Southern Supremes” and signed up to the 100k continuous challenge.
The training was intense, and Hutch and I shared many a voice notes on our walks as we do not live close, and we saw many signs of Stacy on our way.
Then came the day, both feeling so nervous but prepared. It was the hardest challenge we have ever done and I am sure ever will do, but we knew our Stacy was with us when we experienced thunder and lightning the middle of the night (she was never quiet 😉 )
Thanks to the love for Stacy, from her friends, family, colleagues, and also companies she worked with we could not believe that we reached £7459 on our just giving page. Forever grateful, and Stacy is never forgotten.
We have more plans for a team walk in 2025, and will look hope to raise more in Stacy’s memory.
