Story

Harri was a very energetic, happy, well loved and admired boy who loved sport, and played tennis at the tennis club where I, and many of my closest friends and family grew up.

Harri very suddenly passed away earlier this year, due to an AVM (brain vessel malfunction). 14 year old Harri went to bed as usual on Thurs 8th Jan and woke up with a headache the next morning, which was actually a  massive brain haemorrhage. Despite surviving a long operation, he never woke up from his coma. 

I am dedicating this run to Harri and the amazing team at Kings College Hospital who did everything they possibly could to help Harri, and support Caroline,James,Daniel and the rest of his family.

Caroline - Harri's mum, and his two brothers Daniel and James are now doing all that they can to celebrate Harri's memory, and the talented sportsman that he truly was.  Please help me to celebrate Harri's life and support Kings College Hospital, by donating and enabling this outstanding charity to continue to help millions of other children who are in need medical care.
