Archie Smalley, Hereford—The community of Hereford mourns the loss of Archie Smalley, whose passing has deeply affected those who knew him. A touching tribute is being organized by his close friend, Ben Glinos, who, along with a small team from the 1st The Queen’s Dragoon Guards, will be cycling the length of Wales in Archie’s memory. This effort is not only to honor Archie’s life but also to support Papyrus UK, a charity focused on preventing suicide in young people.
Ben shared his heartfelt thoughts on Facebook, stating, "Hi, my name is Ben and I’m starting this fundraiser to support a charity that helps to prevent the suicide in young people – Papyrus UK. This is very close to me, and any donation will mean so much as a close friend of mine lost his life to suicide a couple of years ago, and I want to celebrate his life through this challenge."
The fundraiser, titled "EX Dragoons Saddle – Archie Smalley Memorial," has seen an outpouring of support from the community, raising £125 out of its £1,500 goal from six donations so far. Supporters like Adam Humphreys, Chloe Flight, and Charlie James have contributed to this meaningful cause, each leaving their donations in memory of Archie.
As the community continues to rally around this cause, many have taken to social media to express their sorrow and share memories of Archie. Ben Glinos’ cycling challenge stands as a testament to the impact Archie had on those around him and the enduring love his friends hold for him.
We are deeply saddened to learn of Archie Smalley’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time.
