On the 19th September 2011 my brother Francis who was 23 died suddenly of a subrachnoid brain haemorraghe. We were,, and still are, in shock and the suddeness of his death has still not sunk in. We knew very little about this condition beforehand and we are trying everyday to rebuild our lives without him, which at times seems impossible. Francis was always so supportive of the running events that I participated in, so this year I am trying to honour his memory and run for funding into brain research. Maybe one day with funding and research this will prevent further families from having to go through losing someone they love so dearly. Many thanks for taking the time to read this x
