Speaking on the issue Carla Lockhart MP said:

“The completion of this 70-mile challenge is a remarkable achievement and a very moving tribute to Adam’s memory. I want to pay the highest tribute to David, Sara and the entire team who walked every mile with purpose, heart, and dignity.

It was an honour to walk a short stretch of that journey with them in Banbridge, where the community came out in force lining the streets, clapping, and walking alongside the team.

Seeing Adam’s classmates from Banbridge High School and pupils from Abercorn Primary School join the walk was a moment I will never forget.

At the centre of it all was Blake, showing extraordinary strength and spirit despite his own challenges. His commitment, walking one mile in May to raise funds, encapsulates what this campaign is all about.

David and Sara’s strength and faith throughout this journey has inspired people far beyond Upper Bann. Their ability to turn unimaginable grief into action for others is truly humbling.

I would encourage anyone who hasn’t yet done so to consider donating. Every mile walked has carried with it the memory of a very special little boy, Adam Watson. A boy who in his short life touched the hearts of so many and inspired a movement of people to fight for a cure for Leukaemia.”
