On October 6, Julia, her sons Morgan and Kai, and Lindsay’s daughter Tasie will run the Cardiff Half Marathon to raise funds for Gwent Wildlife Trust.
Speaking about her late cousin Lindsay, Julia, who spent some of her childhood in Blackwood and Newbridge said: “We lost Lindsay far too soon. Everyone who knew her will always remember the wonderful times shared with her - so many of which were shared in nature.
“Camping out the river, striding up the mountain, looking after the birds nesting in her garden, sharing photos of toads - Lindsay's love of wildlife shone through. So we wanted to raise funds in her memory to help Gwent Wildlife Trust to protect and restore Gwent’s amazing wildlife.”
Lindsay’s love of nature is shared by her whole family, including her daughter Tasie, who recently graduated after studying ecology at Reading University.
The group have set up a Just Giving Page and Julia said they are hoping their Half Marathon efforts in aid of Lindsay will inspire other to support them so they can raise as much funds as possible for Gwent Wildlife Trust to protect and restore wildlife and wild places in Gwent.
