Story

We.. Paris, Venezia & Lucius will be running a half marathon on the 6th June 2015 on the Normandy Beaches in memory of our father Lt Col Mike McErlain. A Trauma Spine surgeon in the British Army. He saved many lives. Daddy set up a run that stretched the Normandy Beaches with our uncle Giles Barnes 7 years ago. They were humbled by the sacrifices the brave soldiers made on D-day 1944 who gave us the freedom we have today. But, tragically Daddy died aged 45 while running on the cliff edges in Normandy of a heart attack while raising money for BLESMA on the 6th June (D-Day) the year before last.

BLESMA needs all the help it can get to to help our soldiers today who continue to fight for us and loose limbs and sight in the crossfire!

Thank You for your support! Love Paris, Venice & Lucius
