Josh is running 500 10ks in his cousin's memory
The Chester Chronicle
|May 08, 2025
IT'S one of the most ambitious challenges ever undertaken on behalf of the Hospice of the Good Shepherd - and it won't be completed until 2026!
Every single day until then, teacher Josh Weller will be running 10km in memory of his cousin Katie Anderson, a hospice patient who passed away earlier this year aged just 38 years.
Josh started his challenge of running 10K each day for 500 consecutive days on April 10 this year and will finally complete the 5,000 kilometre - 3,106 mile marathon on Sunday, August 23, 2026!
By then, he hopes to have raised at least £10,000 to support the work of the hospice team in caring for patients and families from communities throughout Chester and Ellesmere Port.
What's more, Josh has signed up to run the Chester Marathon in October to boost his fundraising efforts. The event takes place on November 16 which would have been Katie's 39th birthday.
"I texted Katie just over a week before she passed away to tell her what I was planning," Josh, 26, explained.
