Tracey Hall's 100-Mile Walk in Memory of Roy and Ady
On 14th July 2026, Tracey Hall from Sileby set off on an incredible 100-mile walking challenge from her home in Sileby to Wells-next-the-Sea, raising vital funds for LOROS Hospice and the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA).
Tracey took on the challenge in memory of her dad, Roy Brown, and her husband, Ady Hall, both of whom received care and support from LOROS. Roy spent the final days of his life at the hospice in 2012, while Ady was cared for by the LOROS team following his diagnosis with Motor Neurone Disease before sadly passing away in 2023.
Wanting to give something back to the hospice that had supported her family through some of life's most difficult times, Tracey embarked on the three-day challenge to Wells-next-the-Sea, a place that held many happy memories for her family and was affectionately known by Ady as his "happy place".
Over the course of the journey, Tracey faced long distances, challenging conditions and tired feet, but remained determined to reach her goal. Along the way, she received fantastic support from family and friends, with many people joining her for parts of the route and encouraging her every step of the way.
After three days of walking, Tracey reached Wells-next-the-Sea carrying with her a photograph of Ady. Crossing the finish line was an emotional moment, bringing together feelings of pride, relief and remembrance for the two very special people who had inspired her challenge.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of her supporters, Tracey raised an amazing £1,625, for LOROS to continue providing care and support to those who need it most.
From everyone at LOROS, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Tracey for her incredible dedication, determination and generosity. Her fundraising efforts are a wonderful tribute to both Roy and Ady, and we are incredibly grateful that she chose to support LOROS through this remarkable challenge.
We hope you are immensely proud of what you have achieved, Tracey, and of the difference your fundraising will make to patients and families across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland
