Man running 100 miles in five days in memory of friend welcomed at Wolverhampton university
Shaun McEntee is running from Kidderminster to Liverpool
A man running 100 miles in five days in memory of a friend who died aged 18 of meningitis capped off his first day’s efforts at the University of Wolverhampton.
Shaun McEntee is running from Kidderminster to Liverpool to raise money for Meningitis Now, following the death of family friend and Liverpool fan Aaron Mills in January.
Shaun is covering approximately 100 miles between Kidderminster Harriers’ Aggborough Stadium and Liverpool FC’s home Anfield, stopping at universities on the way to raise awareness of meningitis among students.
Aaron was a lifelong Liverpool fan and held a season ticket at Kidderminster, his local team.
On day one, Wednesday (September 16) Shaun ran from Aggborough to the University of Wolverhampton, where he was welcomed with a reception and a physio on hand.
Shaun has set a target of £5,000 and has already raised more than £4,000.
