Family Walks 66 Miles for Murdered Couple

The family of Josh and Chloe Bashford, who were tragically murdered three years ago, has completed a remarkable 66-mile non-stop walk. This endurance challenge was undertaken to raise funds for Victim Support's homicide service, a cause deeply personal to them.

Josh's father, brothers, and sister, along with her partner, have raised more than £4,000 through the Vanguard Way trek. They emphasized their desire to support other families facing the devastation of homicide, recognizing the critical need for external aid when grief impacts an entire family.

Natasha, Josh's sister, shared that Victim Support's assistance was invaluable during their own traumatic experience, providing a crucial outlet for processing grief outside the immediate family circle. She noted that even after three years, the loss of Josh and Chloe remains deeply felt, but engaging in this positive fundraising activity offered solace.

Andrew, Josh's father, described the walk as exhausting but immensely worthwhile, praising Victim Support for their essential help during an "incredibly difficult time." He envisioned his son and daughter-in-law finding amusement in his weary state. Josh's brother, Billy, called it the "hardest thing" he has ever done physically, emotionally, and mentally. Sharon, Josh's mother, expressed immense pride in her family's accomplishment.
