Mick Marsh—Wigan, UK—The community is reflecting on the life of Mick Marsh, who passed away just over a year ago. Mick spent his final weeks at the Wigan and Leigh Hospice, a place that provided him with care and comfort during his last moments. His passing has left a deep impact on those who knew him, especially his close friend, Councillor Chris Ready.
Chris, who had retired from running after completing his last 10K in 2015, decided to come out of retirement to participate in the Wigan 10K in honor of Mick. Chris shared that this run is his way of expressing gratitude for the excellent care Mick received at the hospice. "I’ve not done much training and it will be hard, but that’s nothing compared to what the Hospice staff do day in and day out," Chris remarked.
The fundraiser, organized by Chris in memory of Mick, aims to support the Wigan & Leigh Hospice. So far, £605 of the £1,000 goal has been raised, with donations coming from individuals such as Amanda Hough, who contributed £20, and Roy Wood, who donated £25.
Chris has been encouraging others to contribute to the cause, with donations being accepted at The One House, Aspull, Sunshine House, or through the GoFundMe page set up for this purpose. The community’s response has been heartfelt, with many people sharing their thoughts and memories of Mick on social media.
Chris’s dedication to remembering his friend through this challenging run is a testament to the bond they shared and the impact Mick had on those around him.
We extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Mick Marsh. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
