In a heartwarming display of unity and remembrance, family and friends of the late Laurence Wilson-Bradshaw are gearing up for the second annual “For the Love of Laurence” charity walk. Organized in his memory, this event aims to raise vital funds for Macmillan Cancer Support, a cause close to Laurence’s heart.

Laurence Wilson-Bradshaw, whose legacy continues to inspire, envisioned an annual gathering where loved ones would join forces to support cancer charities. Following the resounding success of last year’s inaugural event, participants are once again preparing to traverse the picturesque route along the River Wey Navigation, spanning 22 miles from Weybridge to Godalming.

The event, scheduled for May 4, 2024, promises to be a testament to Laurence’s enduring spirit and the unwavering bond shared by those who knew and loved him. While some will embark on the entire journey, others will join in for shorter sections, ensuring that participants of all ages and abilities can contribute to this meaningful cause.

Funds raised through “For the Love of Laurence” will support Macmillan Cancer Support, an organization that provided invaluable assistance to Laurence during his battle with cancer. From emotional support to practical guidance, Macmillan was a steadfast companion throughout his journey, embodying the ethos of compassion and care.

As the fundraising tally climbs steadily towards its £5,000 target, the community’s dedication to honouring Laurence’s memory and supporting those affected by cancer shines brightly. With 76% of the goal already achieved, the collective effort of 143 supporters is making a tangible difference in the lives of individuals and families impacted by this disease.

For those wishing to contribute to this worthy cause, donations can be made through the official fundraising page verified by JustGiving. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to realizing Laurence’s vision of making a positive impact in the fight against cancer.

The “For the Love of Laurence” fundraiser serves as a poignant reminder of the power of community, love, and solidarity in the face of adversity. Together, we honour Laurence’s memory and continue his legacy of kindness, compassion, and generosity.
