Rich, so moving to see the huge distance you and Clare hiked, in support of Farleigh Hospice. It’s a memory for you both - Dad and daughter time is so special. Clare really takes after you, with her beautiful smile. Julie was a beautiful woman, and so is Fran. You’ve been blessed with the women in your life, but I think you’re a special man, too! Have a great summer!
Thank you Pamela. Your beautiful words has had me in tears. Doing the walk and spending all that time with Clare, editing the video and reading these comments has brought all my emotions to the surface. Time again to concentrate on the now xxx
Such an amazing experience, thank you so much for keeping me going dad such lovely memories. Mum would be so proud of us and thank you Fran for the cider at the finish line !!! Very much needed x thank you all these lovely comments you’ve got me welling up x
Been following your dad and Fran's vlog for a long time now. Wasn't expecting to be so touched by clicking on this one. Well done, your mum sounded amazing. I love walking but well and truly had enough by 15m. Well done again, I carefully donate, I didn't hesitate this time. x
What a wonderful accomplishment. I cried when Clare spoke about her mother, I cried when I could see Clare limping, I cried when I saw you both cross the finish line and I cried when Julie’s photo was put up. (Certainly shouldn’t have decided to watch this at work) Well done to you both xx
What a fantastic challenge to do with your lovely daughter, you look so alike. You are both inspiring, lovely to give something back to the wonderful care the hospice gave to Julie. Bless you both and love to Fran. Take care xx
Marcella and I have nothing but admiration for you both. Where I worked had a hospice unit we know the work they do. Those workers are very special people. As for the 100k, I would have taken the bus..
Well that was extraordinary. Very very well done Clare and Rich. What a remarkable achievment. This video was so moving. What a great thing to have shared together. Be proud of yourselves . ❤👍🥇👏👏👏
A very emotional and caring video for all. You have a lovely and supportive daughter. Wonderful too to see Churchillian Spirit in you both as you supported each other to your destination. Julie and Philip. 🇳🇿 XX
I was in tears watching this, so moving, thank you so much for sharing, you and your daughter are truly inspiring. What a test of perseverance. Making real memories with your daughter.
I found your UA-cam channel 2 weeks ago and I am binge watching from the very beginning, just reached this story and now in tears at your amazing daughter. Fantastic achievement for you both, it looked gruelling. Thank you xxx
Well Done Rich and Clare, your mom would be so proud of you. A amazing journey and wonderful memories for you both. So happy for you both, Paul and Susan XXxxx
Well done Rich and Clare. That must have been a physical and emotional challenge. Sorry for your loss. I’m glad the hospice was so much support to you. Take care. Nick
Made me cry watching you make it over the finish line. What a beautiful relationship you and Clare have, and what a fantastic achievement for you both. Absolutely brilliant. I am sure Julie would have been very proud of you both.
Wow! Well done Rich and Clare - and for such a sad but wonderful reason. Your memories of Julie will always be in that special corner of your heart and your dreams with Fran will keep on building. I hope Clare has a special someone to hold her when certain memories threaten to overwhelm and you just need that special hug. God Bless you both. xx 💞
I have sat and cried watching this after Claire spoke of her Mum, sounded such a brave lady. I am sure Julie will be smiling down on the three of you and would want you all to forward though life in happiness peace and happy memories. Bless you all xxx
Awesome . Rich and Clare, you both did an amazing job - and for such a great cause. Hospice care made all the difference when my mom was at the end of her life so this touched me in many ways.
Laid in bed watching this with tears in my eyes! What a lovely strong daughter you have, clearly you have a very special bond x Well done to you both and thank you for sharing.
Wow that is fantastic what a lovely tribute to someone so special to you both and to yourselves. Dads and daughters just out there doing it... I have a tear in my eye xx God Bless xx
Thanks for sharing this with us, I'm sorry that I'm struggling to comment, well done. Take care and all the best. Stevie ( Big guy with tears in his eyes). xxx
you are wonderful people, to hike 100 k seem to me so far, I never could do such thing. and to do it as a great thanks for the Hospice it shows how special you are. be blessed with good & healthy life
What a wonderful inspiration you all are. It is amazing to see the determination you show that many people could not, especially going thru painful blisters like Clare. It is a wonderful testimonial to not only your great heart, but I'm sure Clare's Mom is proud of you both as well.
Hi Fran and Rich, extremely well done Rich and Clare. Lovely daughter you have Rich. You made a very good video while you walked as well, even with all the exhaustion. I’ve never walked that far, once again, well done to you both.
Your Daughters little chit chat brought tears to my eyes Rich. I'm 65 years old. My own daughter can gab lol. I've shared on Facebook to over 200 friends, and will share on Twitter too, so hopefully you'll get boost to funds.
My Mum was in am amazing hospice unit the last three weeks of her life and the staff and the women’s auxiliary treated Mum and us so well. We got to sleep in recliners in her room and were there for all of us day and night. The families were very supportive of each other as well, often bringing meals and treats to share. If anyone in your life needs long term in hospital care, or end of life care and hospice is available be sure to accept. In the meantime donations will surely help . Well done getting the rough walk done. 👍🏻
I must agree with you. Our exposure to the Hospice end of life care was with our beloved first born daughter at the Rowcroft Hospice Torquay. The wonderful staff and volunteers and the other family's there helped us through that hart breaking time. I recommend we all support as we can.
Congratulations both... Hugely emotional for you both and us viewers too however this film shows us there are good people out there and you 2 are top of the list... Thank you lots Rich and Clare for sharing your history with us... You are both ab-fab folk, special beings me thinx and your kindness and care for others 'oozes' from my screen.
I know from personal experience the loss when a much loved partner passes away. Sadly, I have now lost two wives to serious illness. You never stop loving those dear ones, and I could see the raw emotion in your faces when Clare was talking about why you were doing the challenge. My heart and tears went out to you both. Well done for completing it, and in support of such a worthy cause. Much respect.
Very admirable of you both👏 and very touching 😔 Always soul rewarding to talk about the memories of our loved ones with each other. Clare is a lovely daughter and so articulate 👩
