Rugby balls will fly and many miles will be covered in a pair of charity events held in memory of a much-missed teenager. 

When Henry Hill, 18 and from Marsham, died in February last year from a rare form of cancer he left behind a legion of friends, teammates and family members whose lives he had touched.

Since then fundraisers - including money left behind by Henry himself - have gone to supporting the Teenage Cancer Trust and Ward C9 at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge, where he received valuable support and treatment.

Lisa Hill, Henry's mum, said more than £5,500 had been raised for the cause so far. 

She said: “Henry was so well thought of and the way his friends, acquaintances and general public have continued to keep his memory alive by supporting these charities is just fantastic. 

“There have been some amazing feats of endurance and fun times had whilst raising funds in his name.”

Further events include a memorial rugby match at Holt Rugby Football Club - where Henry used to play - on August 26 at 2pm. 

Organised by Angus Hepworth-Smith, the match will take place at the club’s Bridge Street grounds.

And Henry’s best friend, William Riches, is planning to hike 200 miles nonstop in his own fundraiser, starting on September 13. This comes on top of a fundraising walk William did last year for Henry, in which he covered 120 miles.

William said: “Last year’s hike took a tremendous toll on my body but was made worth it due to the amount of people it reached and subsequently the amount of money it raised for the charity.”
