St Albans Half Marathon 2023 for Helen

We are remembering Helen Errington, who died of breast cancer on the 1st March 2023 at the age of 61. Helen was a dearly loved wife to Simon, mother to James and Peter, and friend to countless people from the large variety of activities and interests that she had in life.

Simon, James, and Peter will be taking part in the 2023 St Albans Half Marathon on June 11th, with Simon and Peter doing 5km and James the full Half Marathon. Helen herself ran in this event multiple times in the past, and we would love to raise money for our chosen charities alongside those supported by the event, including Mount Vernon Cancer Centre where Helen recieved treatment.

We would like to raise money in Helen's memory for the Down's Syndrome Association, a cause close to Helen and the family's heart as Peter has Down's Syndrome; and Breast Cancer Now, to help support others afflicted by the same disease that Helen fought so courageously.

She always threw herself into everything she took on, be it Girl Guiding, Scouting, Orienteering, Running, Gardening, and much more besides. We remember her positive spirit and can-do attitude, exemplified through her battle with cancer and her determination to never let it get her down.
