Sophie's Mile is a tribute to Sophie and a fight against ovarian cancer!
On Saturday 10th October 2026, Edward will pull a truck one mile along Bournemouth Promenade, raising £50,000 for Target Ovarian Cancer - the UK's leading ovarian cancer charity, working to improve early diagnosis, fund vital research, and support women and families living with this disease.
He's doing this in memory of his wife, Sophie, who faced ovarian cancer three times with extraordinary strength and courage. She was just 29 when she passed away.
11 women die from ovarian cancer every day in the UK, and three-quarters aren't diagnosed until it's already spread. Target Ovarian Cancer is working to change that and every donation gets us closer:
- £17 could help one more person access trusted advice.
- £50 could help 50 people learn the symptoms.
- £72 could update ten GPs' knowledge.
- £250 could fund a day of vital research.
Pulling a truck for one mile could never compare to what Sophie endured. But it symbolises walking a mile in her shoes and shows what's possible when we pull together, just as Sophie pulled everyone around her, right to the very end.
Please donate, share, and help us turn Sophie's story into lasting change. Donate via https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/sophiesmiletruckpull2026
