Transport manager in 27-mile walk in cousin's memory
A Veolia transport manager is swapping hi-vis jacket for charity T-shirt for a 27-mile walk in memory of his cousin.
George Williams, from Newtown, near Wem, will be walking from the waste management company’s depot in Wem to Oswestry to raise money in support of families who need Hope House children’s hospice.
The charity means a great deal to him as Hope House provided respite stays for his cousin Callum, who died at the age of 18.
The charity also supported the family to say their goodbyes to Callum at the hospice, and provided sibling support.
Callum had Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy, which meant he needed round-the-clock care. He regularly visited Hope House for respite stays.
“I’m close to my aunty and uncle Lisa and Chris and used to spend time with Callum, especially when he was younger,” said George.
