Nine year old Floyd from Hereford has today started a daily challenge in memory of his late best friend who passed away in 2020.

Floyd told us.

“On 29 September 2015, my best friend George and I were both born.

Sadly, just after our 5th birthday, George died from an incurable brain tumour. His lovely family have set up George’s Fund, a charity fund that focuses on supporting children in Hereford aged 3-11.

As George will be forever 5, in honour of him and to raise money for the charity, I am going to walk, bike or run 5km a day from 1 September, finishing on 29 September, our 10th birthday.

Please sponsor me if you can, and if any of my friends would like to join me on the 5kms please ask your parents to speak to my parents”
