Support Gary’s Incredible Challenge in Memory of Diane
One of our amazing supporters, Gary, is taking on an extraordinary challenge this August—running the Stour Valley Path 100 km Ultra Run. Starting in Newmarket and finishing in Cattawade near Manningtree, this is no small feat, and we are so inspired by his determination. (https://www.svp100.co.uk)
But Gary isn’t just running for the challenge—he’s running with purpose. He’s chosen to fundraise for CYM along the way, and we feel deeply honoured that he wants to support our work in this way.
Even more poignantly, Gary is running in loving memory of his wonderful wife, Diane, who sadly passed away last December. Diane was an incredible person—full of energy, compassion, and a passion for making people feel seen and valued. We had the privilege of witnessing her heart for young people first-hand through her support of CYM. She was not only a champion of our work, but also one of our greatest encouragers.
Gary’s journey is a tribute to her life and legacy—and we would love for you to be part of it.
Could you support Gary as he takes on this incredible challenge?
Every donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference and help us continue our work with young people.
At CYM:

Our Chaplains create safe, supportive spaces in schools where students and staff can explore who they are and how they are growing—spiritually, emotionally, and socially.
