We are proud to support Molly at Douglas Mercer & Son Funeral Directors please do the same if you can !
Our Funeral Arranger Molly has announced her plans to complete a 5K run in full funeral attire in order to raise money for charity. Her 5K run will take place at the upcoming Out Of The Blue, Battle event on Thursday 25 June 2026. Out Of The Blue, Battle is a challenging multi-terrain race through the grounds of Ashburnham Place.
Molly is running the race in memory of a close friend, Andy, who sadly passed away in 2024. She said: “Andy was a very good friend, personally and professionally, and always inspired me to achieve my goals, no matter what.” Molly said: “As a Funeral Arranger/Director, helping families during one of the most challenging times of their life is extremely rewarding, and being entrusted to care for loved ones is one of the highest honours.”
Despite the hot weather, Molly is confident in her plans to run in full funeral attire. She has set up JustGiving pages for each of the four Out Of The Blue, Battle charities, so that donations can be made. Her flyer will be available at the event, as well as at the premises of Douglas Mercer & Son Funeral Directors on Sedlescombe Road North.
You can support each of the four charities by visiting the JustGiving pages that Molly has set up:
