Behind Sophie’s Mile is the story of a remarkable young woman. Her name was Sophie Wilson. 💙
Sophie died from ovarian cancer in November 2024, aged just 29, after facing multiple diagnoses, surgery and chemotherapy.
Those closest to Sophie remember her for her courage, resilience and extraordinary selflessness. Even while suffering greatly, she continued to comfort the people around her, check on friends and make plans for the future.
Sophie dreamed of becoming a mum. Cancer took that future from her. On 11th November 2024, she married her husband Edward at Poole Hospital. It was the same day she passed away.
This October, Edward, Sophie’s parents, siblings and close friends will walk a mile in her shoes by pulling a truck along Bournemouth Promenade.
The Scottish 10K community understands the strength it takes to keep moving forward and the difference people can make when they move together.
Please help Sophie’s legacy create hope for other women and families, https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/sophiesmiletruckpull2026
