  • Summary

  • Ten year anniversaries of the loss of a loved one can be a particularly poignant moment, full of reflection and what ifs? So when Stuart Bates MBE and partner Charlotte Nichols MBE set out to mark the tenth anniversary of Stuarts’ brother Spencer ‘Spenny’ - who passed away from Motor Neurone Disease whilst still in his 40s - the seed of an idea was set to fundraise for MND Association. 


    Cue Spennylympics: completing 102 Olympic events during the 17 days of the Tokyo Olympics. Take that in for a moment. 


    Chatting to Stuart and Charlotte it was clear that their determination to honour the memory of Spenny was front and centre. This was a marathon of a physical challenge but also pulled on their mental resilience, whilst the eyes of the world’s media were on them. I was exhausted just listening to their daily regime, so sit back and have listen, you may find yourself reaching for your trainers….nose clip…pole vault!
