Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My granddad had open heart surgery last December and soon after was admitted back into intensive care, where he later passed away peacefully in his sleep. My granddad was and is loved by everyone including his wife, five sons and 18 grandchildren and is deeply missed.

One of the last conversations I had with granddad was about how I wanted to get fit and he basically told me to buy a pair of trainers and get on with it! Since then, I have done just that and lost just over two and a half stone and in memory of my granddad I’m taking part in a number of races and events including the Nike Women’s 10k London Race on 21st June 2015.

Your donation will be passed to one of my granddads favourite charities - to which he spent a great deal of timing raising money.

Please donate what ever you can, or share this to help raise awareness. Thank you, Emily x
