ActionCOACH UK closing in on raising £100,000 for Children with Cancer UK

In December 2018, cherished Action Coach Kent Rhodes sadly passed away after a brave fight against cancer. Kent was a well-known and respected figure in the franchise community, admired for his generous and rigorous spirit. His legacy extends far beyond his exceptional work as a franchise partner. To honour Kent’s memory, the ActionCOACH UK community undertakes an annual challenge that embodies his qualities, while doing as much as they can to help those less fortunate than themselves.

Earlier this month, a team of amateur (but keen!) walkers undertook their toughest challenge yet – hiking up Yr Wyddfa (Mt Snowdon) to raise money for Children with Cancer UK. The team, led by Roger Pemberton, has now raised over £8,500, bringing the total raised by ActionCOACH UK to over £93,000 since the challenge’s inception.

For Kent’s mother, Sue Rhodes, who travelled to participate in the challenge in 2022:

Since 2018, the ActionCOACH community has undertaken numerous challenges in Kent’s name. Action Coaches Andrew Kureishy and Marc Eccles initiated the idea, with Roger Pemberton leading this year’s campaign.

Marc, who was coached and mentored by Kent when he joined the ActionCOACH franchise, said, “We want as many kids as possible to ring the bell at the end of their successful treatments. Any support or contribution from the franchise community would be fantastic.”

Roger added:
